Air and water pollution, transportation, housing, economic opportunity, and other environmental and social factors all influence health, yet efforts to address these issues often occur in isolation. Work led by Yale policy and health researchers, developed with significant contributions from Suzi Ruhl, JD, MPH, co-leader of the Yale Biological Embedding, Global Research & Intervention Network (BEGIN) at YIGH, has now helped shape Connecticut legislation that brings scientists, policymakers, and communities to the same table on these complex challenges.

The meeting brought together academic researchers, NGOs, the Gates Foundation, NIH, and WHO to discuss building equity of access into global health research from the start, addressing a long-standing pattern in which academic trials in LMICs generate the evidence, while funders control resulting IP, licensing, and pricing, often limiting access to the very treatments and diagnostics these trials help develop.
