R2HC in numbers
We’ve achieved a lot in the first decade of R2HC. Here’s a snapshot of where we focus our efforts.
Our research studies
Since 2013, we have funded more than 100 research studies across a range of public health fields, bringing together researchers and humanitarian practitioners to undertake vital research. We've been supporting research teams and stakeholders to produce the latest evidence on 'what works' when responding to humanitarian crises.
