The primary goal of the program is to develop a research training program that builds research skills and provides opportunities for mentored research and grant writing for faculty at three Kenyan Universities (University of Nairobi (UoN), Kenyatta University and Maseno University. These three institutions have forged a close research partnership with support from the UoN Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) grant.
