The IRHAP Advisory and Associates Group consists of individuals actively engaged on the intersection between religion, public health and development in their daily work.
Members assist the collaborative effort by providing advice and insight in shaping the research agenda(s) in support of the goal we share in building an improved evidence base and developing the innovative theory and concepts we need in this field. Loosely divided, Advisors engage in theoretical development and provide collaborative connections across the broad field of practice. Associates are those who are immediately engaged in research-practice on the interface of religion, public health and development, and have worked directly with IRHAP research teams - through advice and/or fieldwork. Members are part of the Advisory and Associates Group in their individual capacity.
