My #DIA2019 presentation on GCP in Emerging Regions based on 2018 #RTCfellows in Kenya elicited positive feedback from NIH & African attendees concerning how GCP was met on NIH studies, and they appreciated steps needed for Investigator-Initiated Trials. @MSDinvents @BIOVentures

In addition to the 8 capacity building seminars that #RTCfellows presented at @MTRHofficial in Kenya, we collaborated with other #RTCfellows supporting @BIOventures in Rwanda to simulcast a seminar on Grant Writing to MTRH. @msdinvents

Three focus-group workshops in 2-days by #RTCFellows at @MRTHofficial. @Leswolfe7 presented Source Documentation, @SunitaVenkatra1 presented Patient Recruitment, and I presented on creating an Institution-wide Data Management SOP. @msdinvents @bioventures

Yesterday was the third seminar (Designing Clinical Trials) conducted to increase clinical trial capacity at @MTRHofficial as part of #RTCfellows. Next week will be Patient Recruitment and Source Documentation (by @LesWolfe7 and @SunitaVenkatra1). @MSDInvents @BIOVentures

#RTCFELLOWS in Kenya continue to share experiences with research hospitals to build clinical trial capacity. This week Leslie Wolfe presented Clinical Trial Overview to Aga Khan Hospital in Nairobi. Afterwards we discussed designs and grant proposals. @MSDinvents @BIOVentures

Our first #RTCfellows seminar at MTRH in Kenya! The topic of: Writing and Critiquing Manuscripts, had with an emphasis on Editor and Peer Reviewer findings. Over 60 medical students, faculty, and clinical researchers attended! @MSDInvents @BIOVentures

[Terry Katz @TerryKatz7]

Kenya-based #RTCfellows brought together clinical operations, DM, and QA staff from various MTRH research groups, to get their opinions on best practices & gaps for clinical trials. Feedback will be incorporated into our seminars & the common SOPs. @MSDInvents @BIOVentures

Deliverable for Team Kenya #RTCFellows! USP expiry date topic researched for Dr Kigen (Moi) and Dr Inyangala (Natl Pharmacy & Poisons Board). Thx to M.Ngoh & J.Limanto for topic research. @MSDInvents @BIOVentures

Midway through our first week at Moi Hospital. We have been reviewing the clinical trial flow and prioritizing which generalized SOPs and seminar topics would be of most benefit. #RTCFellows @BIOVentures @MSDInvents

What a cultural day for #RTCFellows! Training in the AM, cancer survivor and birth-during-transport guest speakers, a PM trip to Nelson Mandela's house, and late evening watching Turkish President Erdogan arrive at our hotel. @MSDInvents @MSDAnimalHealth,
