Global Health
The Indiana CTSI Global Health Program addresses domestic and global health issues for underserved populations by bringing together research and expertise from three vibrant global health centers at Indiana University, University of Notre Dame, and Purdue University.
Reciprocity Is the Heart of Our Success—& Yours
To address today’s complex global health challenges and inequities, translational research requires new approaches to knowledge sharing, cocreation and innovation across diverse settings. Informed by a 30-year partnership between Indiana University and Moi University in Kenya, reciprocal innovation is defined as the bidirectional and iterative exchange of innovations, methodologies and learnings that address shared health challenges.
Together, these partners address common health challenges and provide mutual benefits to each other.
The Indiana CTSI’s Reciprocal Innovation program is designed to demonstrate, replicate, and rapidly disseminate health innovations developed through these collaborations.
