What this research studies
This grant funds a centralized administrative team to manage and coordinate three linked projects, including program evaluation, machine learning work, and building data sovereignty. It supports advisory boards, inter-partner communication, and compliance tasks like reporting, data safety oversight, and confidentiality. The goal is to expand training opportunities, mentorship, and sustainable research capacity within the FBIC and its partners. The core will also facilitate cross-cultural training and ensure a clear path for future data-driven health initiatives in the community.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the community could see enhanced research capacity, better data governance, and more opportunities for local health training and impact from AI-driven projects.
How similar studies have gone: Other administrative cores have shown that strong coordination improves project outcomes and compliance across multi-institution collaborations.
