Partnerships

Better health research is built with other institutions.

CREATES is an open, multi-institutional platform at Strathmore University. Scientific expertise, clinical experience and local knowledge come together around a clear health need, and the right team takes the work forward responsibly.

How we partner

Three ways a collaboration usually takes shape.

01

Research partnerships

We work with universities, research institutions, funders and health organisations to shape relevant questions, assess feasibility and develop studies grounded in local priorities.

02

Study delivery

Our teams connect clinical sites, laboratories, pharmacy, data systems and community engagement to support ethical, well-coordinated research from protocol preparation through close-out.

03

Capacity and translation

We build learning into collaboration through mentorship, practical training and shared scientific work, while helping useful evidence move towards publication, policy and better patient care.

Who we work with

Partnerships formed around the study, not a single template.

The centre was built to share expertise and facilities across institutional boundaries. A collaboration can begin with a university, a ministry, a company or a funder. What matters is a health question that the network is well placed to answer.

Universities and research institutes

Shared protocols, laboratories, training and scientific leadership across institutions.

Public institutions

Ministries, regulators and health programmes that need evidence close to the communities they serve.

Industry partners

Product developers who need careful clinical evaluation for the populations who will use the product.

Funders and global programmes

Organisations looking for a coordinated platform that can take a study from design to useful evidence.

Starting a collaboration

A clear path from first conversation to useful evidence.

  1. 01

    Share the question

    Tell us the health need, the setting, and the outcome you hope to reach.

  2. 02

    Review the fit

    We look at feasibility, ethics, sites and the expertise the work will require.

  3. 03

    Form the team

    The right scientific, clinical and institutional partners are brought around the study.

  4. 04

    Deliver and translate

    The work is carried through carefully, then shared as evidence others can use.
