The summer workshop places a strong emphasis on building local global health research capacity, promoting local innovation, and prioritizing research training for community professionals. The workshop will facilitate the applicants to network with passionate global health leaders as they continue to develop a strong clinical research foundation through a collaborative effort. The main objective of the workshop is educating aspiring professionals in global health research.

Domestic and International faculty and fellows who have completed graduate training or post graduate clinical training in their respective specialties who wish to gain research training and mentorship and build a strong foundation to grow the research capacity at their home institutions.

There are no prerequisites. All courses are conducted in English. Video lectures include the option to slow-down, pause, or replay lectures for better retention.

Online Learning . We had to move the workshop online because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The timing and structure of GHRC is divided into two types of sessions that are tailored to suit the online experience.

Asynchronous activity - is an instructor-narrated video lectures that you are able to pause and replay. Whenever applicable, a selection of readings complementary will be made available to the week’s topic. This activity can be done on Canvas platform.

Synchronous activity - is LIVE group session that cover 2 hours each day during the 4 week period. The workshop also spans weekends (only Saturdays). Synchronous sessions are not scheduled during the weekend, but independent work and online discussions are likely to carry through the weekend.

Workshop dates from July 13th - August 8th. We currently offer 4 weeks training.

Major advantage of online learning is the flexibility it offers participants. Minor delays in participation will not be a problem. Join the class activities as soon as you can.

You should plan for 3-4 hours for course activities which may include watching video lectures, readings complementary to that topic, group discussions, working on your Capstone projects, etc.
