What The Global Health Network Does: Over the past decade, the Global Health Network has developed ways to tackle the barriers teams face when seeking to lead their own health research studies. This solution addresses global inequity by transferring knowledge, technology, and skills, ensuring that the best knowledge, support and methods are accessible to health research teams worldwide. The WHO recognises this approach is working; appointing The Global Health Network as their collaborating centre for research capacity strengthening and knowledge transfer.

Impact on Health Research Practice and Careers: The Global Health Network enables researchers to access the precise knowledge they need in various formats, helping to solve specific challenges as they arise alongside delivering systematic research skills training and career development and so building competency over time through learning-by-doing. It is highly responsive to individual teams' needs, supporting researchers regardless of their disease focus, geographical location, or the type of research they are conducting. In addition, it connects research organisations globally, enabling transfer of technology, skill sharing and global collaborations.

The ARCH knowledge community designs, tests and improves the mechanisms for research uptake, with a focus on researchers, policymakers, and practitioners in, or concerned with, low- and middle-income countries. This supports better transfer of research findings into improvements in policy through knowledge sharing and development of resources, processes and mechanisms that can in turn support turning results into discoverable, practical, and usable recommendations. ARCH is also an advanced digital database which enables rapid synthesis of available research recommendations to drive improvements in uptake.
