- Recent research highlights a growing interest in social innovations in health, but there's a lack of training tailored to boost research capabilities in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
- A multi-phase investigation involving surveys and group discussions identified training needs, leading to a series of co-created workshops designed for LMIC researchers in the Social Innovation in Health Initiative (SIHI) network.
