The Integrated Networks of Scholars in Global Health Research Training (INSIGHT) consortium formed between the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Maryland Baltimore, and the University of Pittsburgh supports training for the next generation of global health scholars from the U.S. and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through mentored research experiences at 24 established partner LMIC institutions across 19 countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and the Caribbean.
