Project Description
The UCLA-South Africa Sustainable Academic Capacity Building for Excellence in Research Training (SACERT) builds on 14 years of research training of South African early career investigators and academic communities on chronic stress and noncommunicable chronic mental health disorders including substance abuse, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder across the life course.
As an international collaboration between UCLA and 12 institutions in South Africa, including University of Cape Town, Human Sciences Research Council, Stellenbosch University, and Walter Sisulu University, SACERT's public health mission is to:
- increase the number of well-trained South African researchers and mentors in chronic stress and noncommunicable chronic mental health;
- translate research findings into culturally congruent substance abuse and mental health treatment interventions and programs; and
- facilitate the building of sustainable community clinical and research capacity and university infrastructure that benefits South African people.
