Summary:
The authors of this study analyzed two clinical research platforms aimed at strengthening health research capacity, focused on Chagas disease and cutaneous leishmaniasis. They used a qualitative and exploratory approach to analyze interviews with key stakeholders about the platforms’ operations. While they found strengths in terms of information exchange, knowledge transfer and translation, and reliability of the generated knowledge, challenges remain in decision-making and governance processes. Initiatives that strengthen research capacity in low- and middle-income countries are central to a sustainable model directed toward health needs.
