LSHTM experts offer high‑quality contract research to organisations seeking robust, independent evidence to address complex health challenges across diverse settings. Healthcare providers, governments, businesses and other organisations can commission LSHTM experts to carry out research on their behalf, for example to develop a new way of working or evaluate an existing service or intervention.
By partnering with LSHTM, clients gain access to multidisciplinary expertise, international networks and methodological rigour spanning epidemiology, health systems, data science and implementation research.
Contract research is delivered to agreed specifications, timelines and budgets, providing actionable insights to inform policy, programmes, products and services that improve health outcomes globally.
We look for work that aligns with our values, our mission and our research strengths. Some projects are focused and time-limited, whilst some may develop into larger programmes of work. We ensure that the contract research we provide is appropriately resourced to ensure effective delivery and impact.
What research has LSHTM been commissioned to do?
LSHTM has a growing contract research portfolio, particularly with public and third sector organisations as shown by the latest Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF) results.
This includes contract research for healthcare providers, government-funded research projects, and commissions to evaluate health interventions.
