All funded NIHR Global Health Research (GHR) Programme awards have a Training Lead who will develop a local training strategy for the NIHR GHR Programme award.
Training Leads act as points of contact for NIHR GHR Academy Members and take an active role, providing advice and career development support to ensure individuals can thrive as successful academics, as well as sharing examples of best practice and career development opportunities.
This document provides the contact details for some of the Training Leads within the GHR Programme awards. NIHR GHR Academy Members looking to apply for an NIHR Global Health Research Short Placement Award for Research Collaboration (GHR SPARC) may find this document particularly helpful when looking to contact other NIHR GHR Programmes about potential placement opportunities.
This document will continue to be updated as we receive information from NIHR GHR Programmes.
