Research for Development (RD Rwanda)
RD Rwanda is a locally registered non-governmental organization in Rwanda dedicated to research and scientific capacity building.
RD Rwanda through the health reseacrch initiative supports junior and senior investigators in their research endeavors through procurement, operational procedures, grant writing, capacity building, grant applications and submissions processes. Our health research is a multi-institution research initiative that has implemented multiple projects in RMH, founded in 2016 by Prof Kathryn Anastos and fellow researchers from both Albert Einstein College of Medicine (Drs. Adebola Adedimeji, Marcel Yotebieng, etc.) and Rwanda (Prof. Leon Mutesa) along with other experienced scientific mentors, grant administrators and medical research leaders in Rwanda and the US. As leaders in the field, those institutions have extensive resources that facilitate study implementation and offer a platform of success for this program. RD Rwanda maintains national and regional partnerships to enhance research program capacity at RMH and other Rwandan institutions, mainly the Referral and teaching hospitals, ~20 community health centers, the Ministry of Health (MoH) through Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) as its implementing institution and the University of Rwanda (UR). RD Rwanda streamlines project implementation and supports the MPIs and Co-Is with administrative and financial management, such as reporting to the funders and partners with transparency and accountability. |
