Associate

Niranjan Saggurti, PhD, is an associate with the Population Council's HIV and AIDS program. He is a demographer and biostatistician with approximately 15 years' experience conducting research on sexual and reproductive health, HIV/STI, gender-based violence, and the intersection of these issues.

Prior to working with the Council, Saggurti taught at the International Institute for Population Sciences in Mumbai, India. His current research is based in India and South Asia. This work includes qualitative and quantitative research in diagnostic, experimental, and evaluation studies across various disciplines. He has served as a principal investigator or  co-investigator on more than 15 grants from various donor agencies, including NIH [NIMH, NICHD, NIAAA], Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, International Finance Corporation, UNAIDS, UNDP, US-based universities, and the Government of India. 

Saggurti has authored or co-authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications. Additionally, for the past ten years Saggurti has been working closely with community-based organizations and marginalized population groups including female sex workers, men who have sex with men, women who have experienced intimate partner violence, male alcohol users, and HIV seropositive persons. Currently, Saggurti has projects related to conditional cash transfers in health programs, interventions to promote public–private partnerships, and strengthening the capacity of young scholars and program managers on scientific writing of programmatic findings in the areas of reproductive health and HIV prevention in India.
