Twelve professionals from ten epidemiological surveillance and research institutions in Colombia and Ecuador received a grant to participate in the Structured Operational Research Training Initiative (SORT IT) to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
This educational scholarship is part of an alliance between the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and TDR. The training programme is supported by the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, represented by its Department of Health and Social Care, through the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).
This initiative seeks to strengthen operational research focused on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries. The objective of this initiative is to promote the use of the available evidence to expand research on priorities identified in the epidemiological surveillance systems of Colombia and Ecuador to address AMR challenges and strengthen health systems.
