Global Health Reciprocal Innovation Virtual Workshop

Overview

NIH convened scientific experts, funders, and policy makers to highlight case examples and explore models, frameworks, opportunities, and barriers for using reciprocal innovation in global health research. We discussed how to advance reciprocal innovation in future global health research. This workshop informed the resulting supplement in BMJ Global Health.
