Research, Measurement, & Data Monitoring
Filling critical gaps in family planning data and research
Driving Impact through Research, Data Utilization, and Knowledge Dissemination for Global Progress
Pioneering a global initiative that advances family planning through research and data excellence, our Global Program on Research, Measurement, and Data Monitoring demonstrates leadership in filling critical gaps in science, generating new evidence, and utilizing research to inform practice while driving the global family planning agenda.
By fostering sustainable research and data monitoring infrastructure and culture within nations, we endeavor to empower countries for sustainable health progress.
Guided by a community-driven approach, our global research and data monitoring pursuits are shaped by insights from end-users, country advocates, programs, and communities.

Driving Impact through Research Excellence: A Holistic Approach to Empowerment
Driving Impact through Research Excellence
This commitment finds its expression through a cohesive sequence of strategic actions. High-quality research forms the cornerstone, amplifying impact and ushering innovative approaches into the field.
Leveraging Real-time Insights
In conjunction, we harness near real-time data in partnership with local collaborators. This empowers us to make informed programmatic decisions, effect timely course corrections, and vigilantly monitor key performance indicators.
Broadening Knowledge Sharing
Moreover, we diligently translate and distribute research findings across a spectrum of audiences. This inclusivity fosters a vibrant platform for sharing among researchers, professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders.
Cultivating Research Pioneers
As part of our dedication, the William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health Research Fellowship has been established. It aims to nurture the capacities of aspiring researchers across masters, doctoral, and postdoctoral levels.
Fueling Sustainable Growth
We’re committed to amplifying the potential of our Global Programs and their interconnections. This involves an unwavering focus on enhancing and diversifying research funding mechanisms to fuel sustained growth and transformation.
