CUGH Virtual Satellite Session: 
Transforming Universities for Equity and Impact in Global Health

​Virtual

Collaborative, interdisciplinary research is an important approach for better understanding issues leading to poorer health outcomes in low resource countries and communities and for identifying strategies to address these issues. In global health research, power imbalances between researchers and between research institutions, caused by colonialism, historical injustices, geo-political interests, economic oppression, and persistent structural racism, have resulted in poor research practices. These include a failure of researchers from high resource settings to meaningfully and equitably engage collaborators with fewer resources and less power, to support processes that fairly reward those collaborators for their contributions, and to support those collaborators’ institutional infrastructure for future research.​
