Project Description
We aim to strengthen and sustain our international research training program shared between Ohio State University and the Institutes of Higher Learning in East Africa. The specific mission of the program is to train the future researchers and trainers using an integrated multi-disciplinary One Health approach. The ultimate goal is to establish sustainable critical mass of capable scientists that can effectively conduct research on zoonotic diseases and implement prevention and control systems.
