Session description:
The session will introduce the concept of global health reciprocal innovation (GHRI); explore barriers, facilitators, and lessons learned for implementing a GHRI approach through innovative case examples; highlight lessons from a GHRI grant program; and conclude with concrete strategies for operationalizing GHRI.
This session seeks to bridge the gap between GHRI theory and practice by providing case examples of the use of GHRI in the global HIV/AIDS response and in global health more broadly and by identifying barriers, facilitators, and lessons learned to enhance the use of this approach for research. It builds upon a
2022 NIH-sponsored virtual GHRI workshop and a subsequent
BMJ Global Health supplement entitled, “Reciprocal Innovation in Global Health Research."
More about global health reciprocal innovation (GHRI)
“Reciprocal Innovation is the bi-directional and iterative exchange of a technology, methodology, or process between at least two countries, one lower- or middle-income country and one high-income country, to address a common health challenge and provide mutual benefit to both sides."—
