Increasing Capacity
Capacity
There is a critical need to empower clinical researchers in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) to lead the research response to epidemic infections. We offer a portfolio of research capacity building initiatives to support emerging clinical researchers in exchanging knowledge, gaining confidence in their research and leadership skills, developing local and regional research agendas, and ultimately increasing the international footprint of their institution both within ISARIC and further afield.
Collaboration is at the core of everything we do and our research capacity strengthening programmes focus on reaching out to, and working with a number of regional and international initiatives. Learn more about past and ongoing opportunities.
Clinical Research During Outbreaks (CREDO)
The CREDO training provides trainees with a set of skills to lead the research response in an outbreak, and strengthens the national capacities of LMICs to generate clinical evidence during outbreaks and facilitate networking and the sharing of resources.
