National Institute Of Public Health

The National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) is an international organization based in Cambodia that provides public health services and research support to the Cambodian government and international partners. As a for-profit entity, NIPH specializes in areas such as disease surveillance, laboratory capacity building, workforce development, and health systems research.

Through federal contract awards from agencies like the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, NIPH has carried out projects related to external quality assurance and research administration for the Naval Medical Research Unit-2 (NAMRU-2) in Cambodia. These contracts, awarded through purchase orders, have supported NIPH's work in overseeing quality control measures and managing research activities on behalf of NAMRU-2 within the country.

NIPH has received substantial federal grant funding from the Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under cooperative agreements. These grants have been primarily focused on strengthening Cambodia's public health infrastructure and capacities in areas like influenza surveillance, laboratory systems, workforce training, and health research. Notably, NIPH has received multi-year funding from the CDC's Global AIDS program (PEPFAR) to build laboratory, workforce, and research capabilities in support of HIV/AIDS initiatives. Additionally, NIPH has received CDC funding to maintain and enhance Cambodia's influenza surveillance networks, facilitate pandemic preparedness, and collaborate with the World Health Organization's Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS). Through these grants, NIPH plays a vital role in bolstering Cambodia's ability to detect, monitor, and respond to infectious disease threats while contributing to global health security efforts.
