Project Description
Tuberculosis (TB) among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) is a major public health problem in Ghana. TB is the leading cause of death in PLHIV. The gaps in TB and HIV research needed to inform control programs cross several disciplines including epidemiology, basic, clinical, social, behavioral, and implementation sciences, as well as public health and health services research. This multidisciplinary research training program will train a cadre of scientists and researchers with complimentary expertise who will ultimately develop independent high-quality research to address yet unanswered and emerging questions that could transform TB prevention and care programs for PLHIV in Ghana.
