Improving health research and building data science capacity in Asia
The Global Health Network promotes regional leadership through research institutes supporting its objectives in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean regions. The partner institutes coordinate the organisation, leadership, operational oversight and delivery for the training and capacity strengthening and data science initiatives in the region.
The Global Health Network is building research capacity in the region through the following workstreams:
Capacity Building |
Deliver health research skills training both online and in-person. |
New evidence from pathfinder projects |
Teach and embed skills, systems, and technology by doing, thereby generating new evidence by analysing data from existing projects within the networks. |
Increased data access, reuse and sharing across the global network |
Facilitate increased data sharing, access, and reuse by strengthening the technical infrastructure and governance frameworks in line with the regional partners' objectives and overcoming existing barriers. |
Strengthened research and data science environments |
Maintain a platform that connects this work together and creates systems, structures and support for health research and data science. |
Establishing federated global strategic partnerships |
Build capabilities in training and enhance systems to support finance, contracts, and human resources administration. The network will strengthen the ability of organisations and institutions to manage large funding awards. |
