One Health Network Funds
The OH-TARGET (One Health Training and Research Global Network) is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and coordinated by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The vision and overarching aim of the CIHLMU is to empower health professionals. With this vision, the CIHLMU aspires to meet health-related challenges through capacity building in training and research. Within the OH-TARGET project, our vision has expanded to a more participatory and interdisciplinary approach to improve global health conditions.
The OH-TARGET project supports interdisciplinary and collaborative research through One Health Network Funds, offering grants for multidisciplinary high-quality research projects, ensured by a thorough selection process. By promoting partner autonomy and effective dissemination, these funds foster South-South collaboration and drive evidence-based policy and practice.
