MICROSCOPIA PROGRAMS

Research programs for better health decisions.

Explore four global observatories, the mental health program and research support for low-income economies. See the evidence, collaborate or support the work.

LIVING SCIENTIFIC INITIATIVES

Explore the work

Each initiative connects a defined problem, methods, accountable scientific governance, Evidence, collaboration opportunities and a responsible support pathway.

Research observatories

01Active microscopIA initiative

Global Pediatric Cancer Observatory

Mapping services and specialists to understand access to childhood cancer diagnosis and treatment and inform referral networks.

Explore projects across Colombia and the Americas.

02Active microscopIA initiative

Global Retinopathy of Prematurity Observatory

Connect four research lines: real-world prophylaxis evaluation; access to specialists for screening, treatment or both; investigational AI; and neonatal eye-care device innovation.

Maps distinguish verified, modeled and missing data. Trials require their own ethics and regulatory approvals.

03Active microscopIA initiative

Global Critical Care Observatory

Map global adult, pediatric, neonatal and burn critical-care capacity and specialist access; develop collaborative trials and real-world evidence for health-system decisions.

Published evidence identifies its source and scientific status. Planned trials are not presented as completed research.

04Active microscopIA initiative

Global Health Economics and Decision Science Observatory

Compare the costs, outcomes and uncertainty of clinical and health-system options. Economic evaluation and simulation make investment trade-offs explicit; inspect each model’s methods, assumptions and stage.

Examine methods and assumptions before applying a model.

05 / GLOBAL HEALTH

Global Mental Health Program via Telemedicine

An initiative of the microscopIA Department of Global Health and Philanthropy. Explore access to psychological care and the current pilot, subject to clinical scope and local authorization.

Telemedicine is not emergency care; privacy, consent, clinician identity, jurisdiction and escalation requirements apply.
06 / RESEARCH ACCESS

Global Research Support Fellowship

Project-level scientific support for eligible researchers and innovators in low-income economies. Selection depends on scientific value, feasibility, ethics, data readiness and capacity.

Applying does not guarantee an award or publication.

Groups with their own leadership

Explore Neuroradiology, Health Systems Engineering and General and Oncologic Critical Care, or propose a hosted group.

BUILD OR SUPPORT EVIDENCE

Propose a scientific partnership or support an eligible initiative without purchasing scientific control.

Funding never confers authorship, suppression rights or control of findings.

GOVERNMENTS, INSTITUTIONS & COMMUNITIES

Turn a health-system need into a programme of work.

Governments & policymakers

Work with microscopIA on access evaluation, capacity planning, economic analysis, evidence synthesis or program evaluation. Agree the decision question, methods, data, deliverables and timetable.

Possible outputs include access-gap maps, investment scenarios, decision briefs and monitoring protocols. Each engagement defines procurement requirements, independence, data permissions and implementation responsibilities.

Propose an observatory or initiative

Describe the aim, population and geography, unmet need and proposed scientific contributors and steering-committee expertise. Include expertise, methods, expected outputs, partners, resources, funding needs and timeline.
