About this Event
The current disruption to U.S. federal global health funding—including the restructuring of USAID and contracting NIH international portfolios—has created urgent pressure on university-based researchers to diversify funding sources and deepen direct partnerships with institutions in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). How can researchers build and sustain these partnerships? What opportunities exist for investigators to diversify their funding sources and continue their important research? Can BU strengthen its role as a leader in equitable global health research?
This Research on Tap will bring together faculty from several BU schools and colleges, representing active research programs across the globe, for a conversation on the opportunities and operational realities facing global health research enterprise. It will examine the partnership models that allow these researchers to work with, rather than on behalf of, in-country scientists, health systems, and communities, and explore how research universities can better support, sustain, and scale these kinds of partnerships.
