London International Development Centre and London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medecine launch international research hub to tackle child stunting
The ‘UKRI GCRF Action against Stunting Hub’ is an interdisciplinary team comprising researchers from 18 institutions. Running for a five-year period from March 2019 – March 2024, the Hub aims to transform current research on child undernutrition or stunting. The team proposes to change the focus of investigation of child undernutrition from individual components of the problem to the ‘whole child’. Through this, we aim to understandthe biological, social, environmental and behavioural context in which stunting occurs.
