Despite the high burden of injuries, they have largely been overlooked in global health research. One of the reasons for this is that in many developing countries there is limited supply of trained human resources for addressing injury research. Uganda is one such country where two critical gaps in addressing the lifelong consequences of trauma, injuries and disability are the lack of trained human resources and the lack of data. Objectives Through innovative model of sustainable development, the Johns Hopkins University-Makerere University Chronic Consequences of Trauma, Injuries and Disability in Uganda (JHU-MU Chronic TRIAD) program aims to strengthen research capacity on the long-term health and economic consequences of trauma, injuries and disability across the lifespan in Uganda.
