Vanderbilt awarded global health informatics training grant
The award will support a new partnership with two leading research institutions in India, the National AIDS Research Institute in Pune and the National Institute of Epidemiology in Chennai. The program will have an emphasis on HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases.
The Informatics Training for Global Health grant is awarded by the Fogarty International Center and its NIH funding partners, the National Library of Medicine and the National Human Genome Research Institute.
The program supports the training of scientists in the design of information systems and use of computer-supported management and analysis in biomedical research. The grants are being awarded to both new and ongoing informatics programs at various international sites.
Informatics, the science of handling large volumes of information, can help link physicians and researchers around the world so that they can share knowledge ranging from the best care of patients to issues in collaborative research.
