The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) was founded in 2007 with the goal of providing an impartial, evidence-based picture of global health trends to inform the work of policymakers, researchers, and funders. Through our work, we identify the world’s major health problems, how well society is addressing these problems, and how leaders can best dedicate resources to maximize health improvement.
Over the years, IHME expanded its partnerships to include collaboration with multiple government organizations including the White House, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the World Health Organization, and many others. In 2017, IHME received a new investment of $279 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to expand our work over the next decade.
