The Centre for Health Analytics Research and Trends (CHART) is focused on the establishment of a strong repository of evidence- based research on a range of issues impacting population health. The multi- disciplinary team of researchers brings expertise in designing and conduct of rigorous epidemiological research studies across India . The team comprises public health experts , epidemiologists, biostatisticians , social scientists, environmental epidemiologists and exposure science experts , geospatial analysts , health economists , health system specialists , nutrition and laboratory science experts .
Current large scale epidemiological studies are focussing on air pollution , nutritional and psychosocial determinants and climate change and their impacts on a range of child and adult health outcomes . Unique AI- based modelling techniques have been used to develop exposure metrics and dashboards that can be effectively used by researchers in future epidemiological research on population health in India.
The team also contributes to formulation of programs and policies by national and sub- national governments besides focussing on building capacity for research and advocacy . Several international collaborations also provide a platform for knowledge exchange and training opportunities for early and mid- career researchers thereby helping to build a pool of future research scientists .

BLOOM is a community-based, cluster randomised controlled evaluation of Andhra Pradesh Community-managed Natural Farming (APCNF) led by Centre for Health Analytics Research and Trends, Trivedi School of Biosciences, Ashoka University with the University of Edinburgh in partnership with Rythu Sadhikara Samstha (RySS), APCNF.
The Consortium for Climate, Health and AIr pollution Research in India (CHAIR-India) was established in May 2019 as a platform to convene researchers working to address the research gaps in health effects of air pollution in India.  Exposure scientists and health researchers from across the country came together to explore the scope for collaborative work to enhance the evidence base for the health effects of air pollution in India.
Through a team science approach, COINCIDE aims to address the critical challenges of suboptimal neurodevelopment and poor mental health in India. We aim to generate evidence and skills in three key areas:
A joint initiative of TSB and the Department of Computer Science is focused on the use of biomedical data generated during research, healthcare, and public services, towards better understanding, models, and policies.
