Our proposed project investigates two community-led initiatives to develop infrastructure to support community-based research.

The 'Tiny Packages with Big Impact: Workshop on Extracellular Vesicle (EVs) Isolation and Characterization' is born from the acknowledgment of a critical gap in hands-on EV research training.

Moral values, some of the most deeply held beliefs an individual or a culture can hold, are particularly difficult to change.

Surgical outcomes in low/middle income countries (LMIC) are much worse than those in high income countries, causing millions of preventable deaths per year.

This project aims to advance scientific understanding of the potential value of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to reduce gender-based violence (GBV).

In low-income and middle-income countries (LMIC), frequent health care appointments related to untreated surgical illness can impede the ability to maintain employment and contribute to poverty.

Critical to the success of global initiatives addressing surgical disease in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) are not only efforts to provide surgical care but also to prevent surgical disease.

Achieving goals in global health requires moving data into practice, but low/middle income countries struggle in performing high quality clinical research, and very few studies done and published focus on surgery and emergency care.
