The goals of the program include fostering research collaborations between Manipal and 51Թfaculty; identifying promising infectious disease researchers and trainees at and supporting them to attend the 51ԹSummer Institute in Infectious Diseases and Global Health; identifying promising 51Թtrainees and faculty to be under the mentorship of Manipal faculty; and establishing conferences, short courses and workshops taught jointly by Manipal and 51Թfaculty.

Past Activities
Addis Ababa Partnership in Infectious Diseases
(AMP-ID)
In 2009, a new partnership was forged between the Department of Medicine of AAU and members of the division of Infectious Diseases at McGill, to implement a post-graduate sub-specialty training program in Infectious Diseases (ID) for Ethiopian physicians. This program was initially supported through charitable and industry donations, until funding was obtained from the Research Institute 51Թ Health Centre, to include a research component. This led to a decision to formalize the partnership under the auspices of 51ԹGlobal Health Programs, the JD Maclean Centre for Tropical Diseases and Addis Ababa University College of Health Sciences. The partnership has been named “Addis Ababa – 51ԹPartnership in Infectious Diseases”, or AMP-ID.
