Funded by the Wellcome Trust, the GHBN is a partnership between the Wellcome Major International Programmes (MIPs) in Kenya, Thailand-Laos, South Africa, Vietnam, and Malawi, the University of Malaya in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the Ethox Centre at the University of Oxford. Additional collaborators include the Ethics Lab at the University of Cape Town, the University of Ghana, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) in Brazil, and the Wellcome Trust Brighton and Sussex Centre for Global Health Research.
