According to WHO, a PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre is an institution designated by the Director-General to form part of an international collaborative network carrying out activities in support of the Organization's programs at all levels. A Centre must also participate in the strengthening of country resources, in terms of information, services, research and training, in support of national health development.

Both institutions that show the capacity to fulfill a function or functions relevant to the Organization's program and objectives, and institutions of high scientific and technical standing that have already attained international recognition may qualify for designation as WHO collaborating centres.

Initially, an institution is designated for a term of four years. During this period, its activities are ruled by terms of reference and a work plan, whose progress is assessed annually. At the end of the term, a more thorough assessment is performed and, if appropriate, the Centre is redesignated for a new term.

In its eighth term, the Ribeirão Preto Collaborating Centre's activities are guided by the following Terms of Reference:
