Project Description
Chronic pulmonary diseases driven by increasing environmental exposures are of growing concern in low- and middle-income countries such as Peru. There exists a gap in the multidisciplinary research and training capacity to address these health problems in Peru. We propose, through a collaborative effort between Johns Hopkins University and Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, to design and develop a program to build the capacity to train the next generation of Peruvian researchers in environmental exposure and chronic pulmonary diseases.
