TDR's new Implementation Science Leadership Programme for Public Health Impact aims to enhance the capacity of public health practitioners and researchers in low- and middle-income countries to address critical health challenges, through implementation science. Following a call for applications, TDR and training partners have selected eight new fellows who will begin their fellowships this year.
The new fellows, comprising five public health practitioners and three researchers, will be hosted for a period of 6 to 12 months at two leading health research institutions: Gadjah Mada University in Indonesia and the University of Ghana. This initiative builds on TDR's previous efforts, which have provided scholarships for Master of Public Health programmes with a focus on implementation research (IR) since 2015. More than 500 grantees (of which 50% are women) across seven universities in low- and middle-income countries have benefited from these scholarships, creating a critical mass of researchers and implementers equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills in IR.
The selected fellows bring a wealth of experience and strong commitments to improving health outcomes in their respective regions.
