This forum is aimed at facilitating networking among current PEER PIs based in Latin American countries in order to help build productive linkages not only with their research colleagues, but also with representatives from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and other donor agencies. In addition, this meeting is designed to promote capacity building by providing training in various non-research skills such as identifying and approaching potential funders, preparing and presenting research results to both technical and non-technical audiences, and reaching out to government agencies and non-governmental organizations to provide input on science-related policy issues. Besides our program’s LAC-based PIs and co-PIs, participants include PIs from regional programs, guest speakers on the topics listed above, representatives from our sponsors at USAID, representatives from various donor agencies, and program staff from the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
This page will be used to share logistical and general information about the upcoming PEER Participants' Forum. The page will be updated regularly with new information as we move closer to the event date and details of the forum become finalized. All information emailed to the participants will also be available here for easy access. Additionally, speaker and PI biosketches are available below as well as PEER project descriptions and the forum agenda.
