Research Capacity Building: Nurturing and Strengthening Emerging Scientists
Research Capacity Building: Nurturing and Strengthening Emerging ScientistsThe capacity to conduct high-quality mental health research is under-developed and inequitably distributed in low and middle income countries (LMICs). Mental health research activity and productivity is heavily concentrated in only 10% of LMICs. There is a critical need for rigorous training for early career scientists on all aspects of research, including study design, biostatistics, psychometrics, mental health systems and services research, clinical trials, and dissemination and implementation research.
