Collaborative Genetics Research Training Program
Updated
April 2003
Summary
The International Collaborative
Genetics Research Training Program will enhance and promote
equitable international collaborations between investigators
in the developed world and those in developing countries where
a base level of institutional infrastructure for the advancement
of sustainable genetic science is already established.
Applications were solicited to create innovative research
training programs within existing scientific collaborations
between developed and developing country researchers to begin
to build a critical mass of scientists, health professionals
and academics with human genetics expertise and a sustainable
research environment at the collaborating developing country
institution.
