Health Systems Research Institute

Health Systems Research Institute (HSRI) is Thailand’s key agency for managing health systems research. It focuses on generating high-quality, system-level knowledge to inform policy and strengthen the country’s health system sustainably.

Guided by its vision, “to be a leader in health research management,” HSRI plays a central role in setting research directions, supporting initiatives, and connecting research networks to align with national needs.

HSRI also serves as a Program Management Unit (PMU) under the Science, Research and Innovation (STI) system, overseeing research funding allocation, monitoring and evaluation, and driving the utilization of research outputs in policy and practice.

In addition, HSRI collaborates closely with Office of the National Higher Education Science Research and Innovation Policy Council (NXPO) and other PMUs to integrate research efforts and translate knowledge into tangible improvements in Thailand’s health system through inclusive participation.
