Through the establishment of the Institute in Resilient Health Systems, we aim to examine and understand the complex forces shaping health systems.
What makes one leader more successful than another during a public health crisis; how politics, finance and governance shape decisions; and ultimately, the impact of these decisions on the communities they serve. The Institute will bring together researchers across a range of disciplines, in Liverpool and across the world, to collaborate in answering these complex questions. Our experience in fragile and unstable settings will allow us to apply this knowledge to the most vulnerable health systems of all.
We aim to grow research seed funding to enable participation across our partner network and to support more unconventional, rebellious and breakthrough new ideas through Research Catalyst Challenges.

Director’s Catalyst Fund
The fund was launched in 2016 with funding from LSTM’s Research Committee, The Wellcome Trust along with philanthropic donations, to support early stage projects.
The Fund usually provides five awards each year of up to £50,000, and is open to all of LSTM’s postdoctoral researchers, it offers a platform to test new ideas and confidence in their concept in order to go on and scale up their work with the involvement of larger research funders.
Why your support is so important?
Support from donors enables us to push the boundaries of traditional research and statutory funding. They allow the freedom to develop solutions which will catalyse new knowledge and research funding, ultimately decreasing reliance on aid.
Donations enable us to invest in new, untested, and perhaps unconventional ideas and the most promising students and scientists. These are the people who will lead the world in finding solutions to humanity biggest health challenges.
Donations allow the flexibility to work with new partners and support them in developing their own research infrastructure and competitiveness. This creates collaborations which are responsive to regional challenges, but which have the potential to benefit human health worldwide.
