Project Description
To address the global epidemic of cardiometabolic disease, the University of Washington (UW) Department of Global Health (DGH) is partnering with two long-standing collaborators—Kathmandu University (KU) and University of Nairobi (UON)—to facilitate cross-cultural training experiences for building future research opportunities. As a part of this training, we will support six students in completing MPH degrees at UW, five for MSc degrees in Public Health at KU, and up to 40 trainees per site to complete online certificate programs. Workshops of special interest to research in cardiometaboic risk factors and conditions will also be offered at each site.
