At CHS Global Partnerships for Research & Innovation, we believe in the power of proof. Just as science is built upon evidence, we expect our researchers and innovators to deliver results. We invest in ideas that will turn into action. This means making discoveries that will have a meaningful impact on the quality of life for Deaf and hard of hearing individuals.
