NFLD | Identifying best practices and lessons learned for enabling, coordinating, and supporting global efforts to prevent the spread of infectious diseases across borders and mitigating their spread during public health emergencies of international concern. Assessing the economic, social, ethical, cultural, and political barriers to global collaboration on infectious diseases and opportunities for strengthening such collaboration in ways that advance health equity for all. | Hello, I am an early career investigator wishing to be part of a team. I have expertise and skills around three topics. First, I am currently working on a CIHR-funded project to build a partnership in India on multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. I have visited the northeastern state of Sikkim, India where the rate of MDR-TB is dramatically high. So, I can contribute knowledge and some expertise around MDR-TB. Second, I have been part of an IDRC-funded project to investigate the implementation of health-related SDGs in 7 South Asia countries (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka). That has enhanced my knowledge of health governance in that region. And finally, I have done my Ph.D. on community health and health system strengthening. I have strong qualitative skills, conducted extensive fieldwork in rural and remote areas, undertaken systematic gender analysis of programs, and analyzed policy options and recommendations. Please do not hesitate to contact even if it is just for the sake of connecting and getting to know me and my skills better. Thanks, Maisam | |

Assessing the economic, social, ethical, cultural, and political barriers to global collaboration on infectious diseases and opportunities for strengthening such collaboration in ways that advance health equity for all. | Much of my research is in the area of evaluation and data use/sharing. I believe that these could be important complements to broader research proposals. | |
