Project Description
The overarching five-year goal of the PREVSL project, in Phase II, will be to provide the support necessary to COMAHS and its newly launched PhD degree program in Biomedical Sciences and Public Health that will anchor effective systems over time and ensure the PhD programs long-term sustainability. The project will do this while continuing to strengthen the KGH clinical research program as a training site for future student and researchers through the promotion of ongoing implementation science and clinical trial research in emerging infections from which trainees can attain practical and applied research skills.
