Project Description

The Cardiovascular Research Training in Nigeria (CeRTIN) program is a collaboration between the Northwestern University at Chicagoand University of Abuja in Nigeria. The program will build capacity in Nigeria to lead multidisciplinary cardiovascular implementation research studies, clinical trials, and outcomes-research studies across the lifespan that are aligned with national (Nigeria, NIH) and  international (UN Sustainable Development Goals, WHO Best Buys for Noncommunicable Diseases) areas. 

The program will leverage existing investments by the NIH at both institutions to foster timely, relevant research using a contemporary, adult-learning theory-based approach that will strengthen collaborations between researchers at both partner universities and into broader research networks.
