The Public Health and Environment Research Centre (PERC), established in 2013 by a consortium of dedicated researchers, is committed to enhancing human health and well-being through pioneering research that bridges public health and environmental science. PERC serves as a dynamic platform for researchers to actively engage in evidence-based studies, emphasizing the translation of research findings into practical applications that benefit target populations. By fostering strategic partnerships, PERC ensures that innovative interventions and solutions are effectively implemented in real-world settings.

A key focus of PERC is the seamless integration of operational and translational research into its core activities. By embedding operational research into its work, PERC systematically investigates interventions, strategies, and tools to enhance the quality of human health and extend the reach of health systems and services. This enables the organization to identify practical solutions, optimize program outcomes, and advocate for evidence-based policy changes. Similarly, PERC prioritizes translational research to bridge the gap between scientific discoveries and their real-world applications, ensuring that research findings are effectively transformed into tangible actions and solutions. Through this dual focus, PERC aims to drive meaningful change by connecting knowledge generation with practical implementation, ultimately improving public health and environmental outcomes.

Vision

To directly engage in translating research findings into policy and practice, while making both operational research and translational research integral components of our efforts.

Mission

To build research capacity that enhances program effectiveness and to advocate for the populations we serve. We aim to achieve our mission through:

• Providing clear strategies for setting research priorities.
• Bridging the implementation gap between research knowledge and its practical application.
• Translating knowledge into practice.

Organizational Values

• Commitment to efficiency and long-term sustainability.
• Dedication to transparency and accountability.
• Credibility in disseminating evidence through scientific publications.

At PERC, we uphold the significance of documenting and sharing our research to ensure meaningful impact.
