Monrovia – The National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL) will have Nana Oye Akuffo from the Noguchi Medical Research Institute (NMIMR) at the University of Ghana as her guest on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 to conduct a workshop and feasibility study for developing an office of research support (ORS) as a critical aspect of generating grants for the institute. Nana Oyo Akuffo is the Coordinator for Office of Sponsored Research (OSR) at NMIMR, Ghana. The NMIMR conducts both laboratory and field-based research into communicable and non-communicable diseases of public health importance; led by researchers in the nine departments of the institute. The NMIMR Office for Research Support (ORS) provides pre and post awards administrative services for projects and helps to ensure the overall effective coordination of the research administration, system, policies and processes. Nana Oye is willing to support the ideal in establishing an ORS at the National Public Health Institute of Liberia which will launch us into a different phase of research in Liberia.
