Empowering the next generation of researchers – NCD Policy Lab
NCD Policy Lab posted the following on LinkedIn:
“Two weeks ago, the NCD Policy Lab had the privilege of participating in the Science Fair at Kyrgyz State Medical Academy (KSMA), where the incredible potential of young researchers was on full display.
In collaboration with the Health Policy Analysis Center, a microgrant was awarded to support a study on diabetes awareness in Kyrgyzstan. The findings were striking: a significant lack of knowledge about diabetes risk factors, coupled with the fact that most individuals only visit their doctor once a year. These insights are essential for improving both prevention and care.
Why is this important?
The study underscores the importance of community-driven research in addressing knowledge gaps related to Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). It also highlights the role of global initiatives like the Global Diabetes Research Agenda, launched on November 20th, in supporting collaborative efforts to improve health outcomes.
Highlights from the KSMA event:
- Opportunities within the NCD Policy Lab for student scientific societies.
- STERN Group’s Research: Insights into diabetes awareness.
- Career Perspectives: Shared by David Beran, Assistant Professor at the University of Geneva.
- Awards & Recognition for emerging researchers at the student scientific clubs fair.
The NCD Policy Lab is playing a critical role in bridging the gap between science and policy, creating platforms that integrate research into decision-making. Empowering the next generation of researchers is key to developing sustainable and informed approaches to global health challenges.”
