The training program “Capacity Building for Research on Violence Prevention in Vietnam” is a project in Vietnam funded by the NIH (USA), implemented by Emory University (USA) and Hanoi Medical University. The project aims to establish a diverse advisory group for research on gender-based violence and child abuse in Vietnam through training activities (15 postdoctoral fellows and 40 short-term trainees). The program will enhance the capacity of the CONVERGE advisory team and the capacity of organizations in Vietnam.
To participate in the second cohort of the postdoctoral program (2023-2024), candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Individuals with advanced degrees (PhD and/or MD) interested in research on gender-based violence and child abuse prevention.
- Ability to arrange participation in the course in the USA during September-October 2023.
- Sufficient English proficiency to participate in courses, workshops, and write academic papers in English.
By joining the training program, postdoctoral fellows will have the opportunity to:
- Work with top-ranked organizations in the fields of research and practice regarding gender-based violence, child abuse, and violence prevention.
- Collaborate with a vast network of world-class researchers in the USA, Vietnam, and other countries who will serve as mentors and guides, helping you develop your professional network.
- Receive support from an advisory team, including former trainees currently working in the field, tailored to your proposed research project.
- Access a wide range of datasets from recent violence prevention studies in Vietnam, Southeast Asia, the USA, and other countries to support your research.
- Participate in an intensive one-month training program held at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, with the participation of faculty from Emory University, Georgia State University, and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
- Receive ongoing training and mentoring support for over 17 months to develop, implement, and disseminate your research project.
- Receive training on preparing grant proposals for your subsequent research projects.
- Receive training on leadership and implementation science to accelerate the application of your research findings into practice in Vietnam.
