About Us
The Rwanda Zambia Health Research Group (RZHRG) is based at Emory University in Atlanta, GA, USA with research and clinical sites in Rwanda and Zambia. Our over 30 years of research has spanned basic science, epidemiology, clinical trials, and implementation projects on a variety of topics including HIV and other sexually transmitted infections, reproductive health and family planning, schistosomiasis, malaria, and Ebola. We pioneered evidence-based, cost-effective couples-focused strategies for prevention of HIV and unplanned pregnancy. Our multidisciplinary team includes clinicians, epidemiologists, virologists, molecular biologists, data scientists, and project managers.
We have been funded by a diverse group of sponsors including the US National Institutes of Health, the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, HIV Vaccine Trials Network, the UK Department for International Development, the Canadian International Development Agency, Program for Appropriate Technologies in Health, and other multinational organizations.
