Lincoln International Institute for Rural Health : Seminar Series
The North-South Collaborations: approach and opportunities in conducting global health research in rural India
On behalf of Professor Frank Tanser, Director of Lincoln International Institute for Rural Health, and Dr Paul Mee, Senior Research Fellow, we are delighted to invite you to join a guest webinar by Professor Sanjay Juvekar.
Professor Juvekar will use this opportunity to talk about “The North-South Collaborations: approach and opportunities in conducting global health research in rural India”.
North-South collaborations in global health research have historically been initiated as Northern research questions to be addressed in Southern countries. Southern partners were often seen as only data collectors. To address this imbalance at Vadu Rural Health program we engage in original research ideas, an example is the NIHR-RESPIRE collaboration which has helped us to sustain our research infrastructure, enhance local capacities and conduct locally relevant research.
Prof. Sanjay Juvekar, an anthropologist by training leads research teams of anthropologists, medical doctors, data scientists, biotechnologists, pharmacists, nurses, health scientists and graduate/post-graduate field researchers.
He heads the Vadu Rural Health Program (www.kemhrcvadu.org), the Vadu Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS), the globally acclaimed Vadu Research Unit and KEM’s rural Micro Health Centre.
His expertise spans a variety of multidisciplinary areas including epidemiology, social sciences, disease burden studies, vaccine trials, behavioural interventions and implementation research, data science and health technology. His vision and efforts to establish HDSSs in many countries is much appreciated nationally. He has been instrumental in forming the Asian network of HDSS. He is a PhD supervisor at the Pune University.
He is founding Principal Investigator (from 2007 to 2013) and currently Co-Investigator, Asia Node, IDMS- INDEPTH Data Managing Systems (www.INDEPTH-iSHARE.org) that enables data sharing in public domain.
