A step by step toolkit
Engaging local research communities to enhance long-term capacity building and increase equity in access to engagement in health research.
AUTHORS: Luiza Madia Lourenço, Mercedes Rumi, Bonny L Baker
Design: Steffani Herring-Hall
This toolkit is based on the 2019 REDe Workshop Series that was coordinated by Luiza H. M. Lourenço, Gregorio Dias, Nina Jamieson, and Bonny Baker, integrating “in person” and online learning opportunities to strengthen a community of practice that is relevant to local needs.
The toolkit describes the design and implementation of a series of workshops, demonstrating the value of integrating a practical workshop series format with digital dissemination of research resources and training materials, to generate a vibrant and robust community of practice that can facilitate more and better health research within our communities. The approach described here shows one way to pursue this and therefore might be useful to other institutions that want to help strengthen research skills in low and middle-income countries such as Brazil. Bringing visibility to this successful approach will inspire and foster more initiatives like this, ultimately contributing to local ownership in the field of global health.
We are always keen to hear from researchers and teams who have used these resources, and perhaps adapted and modified them further. Please do share your experiences or refined tools with us at: info@theglobalhealthnetwork.org or redebrazil@tghn.org
