Project Description
Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face huge and growing burdens of chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, strokes, dementia, and mental health disorders, but also contend with extremely limited investments in research and leadership development that can inform and strengthen prevention and control programs and policies. This training program in research, implementation science, and leadership will train 116 researchers and practitioners from India and Ethiopia, and serve as a stepping stone for them to build independent careers focused on designing, implementing, and evaluating interventions, programs, and policies to address chronic conditions.
This program will train previous trainees to become mentors of the future; is integrated across content areas and methodological approaches; is feasible based on our previous successful training models; and will have sustainable impacts by retaining and motivating trainees and mentors to become future leaders and strengthen our partner institutions in India and Ethiopia from within.
