What is
Community Empowerment Lab?

We, at Community Empowerment
Lab, love to watch our people write their own stories – stories of success and
challenges, stories of connecting with communities, of serving mothers and
children. Stories of serving our nation.

So, who are we exactly? We
are a  Not for Profit Research
Organization working on the frontiers of maternal and neonatal health, serving
some of the most vulnerable through innovations and leveraging cutting-edge
scientific approaches in public health. We are driven by scientific evidence,
national priority, and global public health challenges!
Our mission revolves around empowering communities by providing them with
evidence-based solutions to address their needs, thereby bridging the gap
between communities and scientific knowledge. We adopt a grounds-up approach,
engaging with communities to understand their requirements and co-designing
solutions with scientific rigor. These solutions undergo trials and
implementation research to ensure efficacy. The insights gained are then scaled
up to influence state, national, and global policies and practices. Our focus
lies at the intersection of newborn survival and maternal health, health system
strengthening, and early childhood development, aligning all our initiatives to
tackle both local and global challenges faced by newborns and mothers.

We are the Collaborative Centre of Excellence for
Indian Council of Medical Research joining hands with several scientific
research organizations pan-India to address numerous national priorities and
build a future scientific workforce for the country!  We are also an ICMR - Centre for Advanced Research for Neonatal and Maternal Health working on solutioning newborn survival. In Uttar Pradesh, we support UP
National Health Mission as a newborn survival specialist through UP TSU (Uttar
Pradesh Technical Support Unit).

What
defines us as a team?

We are young, collegial,
committed, and sensitive- a bunch of creative people which love to do science
with a compassionate heart. We believe in human goodness, unending capacities
to grow as leaders, and finding meaning through their consistent efforts that
often meet success and failure too. We believe in learning by doing! We believe
in soiling our hands, doing science in the midst of the community, and keeping
the community at centre! We are not merely desktop researchers. We value
high-impact research publications and simultaneously bringing solutions to the
doorstep of those who need them most!

Our people drive the
organization and contribute to mutual growth. Some bright public health
scientists, tech talent, management mavens, community organizers, and
volunteers have kept us going for over twenty years now. We are ambitious, and
growing and we need many more of our tribe now. At CEL, we encourage people to
pursue a career and a passion for public health service.
