?? We’re Thrilled to Announce! ?? The D43 Sickle Pan African Research Consortium TRAINing Grant (SPARC-TRAIN) – 1D43TW012724-01 has been awarded by the NIH Fogarty International Center. Our own luminaries, Obiageli Eunice Nnodu (University of Abuja), Prisca Olabisi Adejumo (University of Ibadan), Emmanuel K. Peprah (New York University), and Fred Stephen Sarfo (KNUST, Kumasi) are at the helm of this trailblazing initiative. Over the next five years, SPARC-TRAIN will spearhead an unprecedented interdisciplinary training program, bridging critical gaps in translational research for sickle cell disease and allied conditions. ??? The program is committed to nurturing 20-35 scholars from Nigeria, Ghana, and wider West Africa into forefront leaders in hemoglobinopathies and implementation science. ???? ?? Plus, we've kicked off the ACCELERATE U01 study with Dr. Nnodu and partners at @uniabuja in March 2024. Let’s advance #HealthEquity and improve #PublicHealth outcomes together! #SPARCTRAIN #SickleCellWarrior #MedicalResearch #GlobalHealthLeadership #ISEELab #NYU #NYUGPH

As part of an engaging writing project focused on the "State of Data Science for Health in Africa," the NIH Fogarty International Center, in collaboration with the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) and the Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa (DS-I Africa), organized a Writers' Retreat in the picturesque city of Cape Town, South Africa, from March 12th to 15th, 2024. This retreat brought together over 20 distinguished public health researchers, data scientists, and public health practitioners from across Africa. Their goal was to finalize manuscripts for submission to the prestigious journal Nature, contributing to a special collection dedicated to the advancement of data science within the African continent. Representing the NYU ISEE Lab, John Pate?a, MPH, MA took part as a co-author of a pivotal paper focusing on the critical themes of funding and investment for data science in Africa. This work was co-led by the esteemed Dr. Emmanuel Peprah of NYU GPH and Dr. Julie Makani of SickleInAfrica/Muhimbili University, showcasing a collaborative effort to highlight and address the financial underpinnings necessary for the growth of data science in the health sector across Africa.

Join us for GPH's inaugural Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) Advanced Applied Practice Experience (AAPE) Presentation. DrPH student John Pate?a, MPH, MA will present his AAPE conducted at the NIH Fogarty International Center. His project explored how community engagement can be utilized to strengthen and spread implementation science outcomes in LMICs. The presentation will include recommendations for action to Fogarty as well as lessons learned on public health leadership, particularly reflections on the role of governmental agencies to advance implementation science practice. Date:?Friday, March 1, 2024 Time:?10:00 - 11:00am EST Location:?708 Broadway | Room 801 (Virtual option available) Click the link to RSVP: https://lnkd.in/eviGnqEQ
