Look for IDEAS at APHA’s 137th Annual Meeting and Exposition, Philadelphia, Nov. 7-11, 2009.

We have both international and domestic experience, and believe that our strategies and approaches are relevant and effective in both settings. In the spirit of the Millennium Development Goals, we are dedicated to building the capacity of organizations to improve the health of the most disadvantaged populations: rural, poor, immigrant, uninsured.

In all that we do, IDEAS employees seek to:

• Build capacity in individuals and, particularly, local organizations
• Collaborate to reduce duplication and avoid conflicting strategies
• Ensure that the best available data is applied in decision-making
• Promote effective, sustainable approaches in resource-constrained contexts
• Be sensitive to local culture and capacity
• Be effective and transparent stewards of donor resources
