Research
From evidence to action
IGN generates, uses, and supports research to strengthen iodine nutrition programs worldwide. We combine technical expertise with scientific inquiry to better understand how programs function and whether populations are protected from iodine deficiency. We work with a network of leading researchers to address critical questions related to iodine nutrition and health. With the support of the Gates Foundation, we are improving the gathering of program and population status data through development of low-cost, effective tools.
