The Global Health Reciprocal Innovations Scientific
Working Group
aims to facilitate the exchange of innovations between low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and higher-income countries in addressing HIV challenges. Open to UAB and non-UAB individuals, it plans seminars, networking events, and capacity-building activities for program translation, implementation, and evaluation in new settings. SWG leadership provides advice on contractual and regulatory challenges.

Global Health Reciprocal Innovation (GHRI) is a recently coined term to describe the bidirectional and iterative exchange of technology, methodology, or processes between Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) and high-income countries to address common health challenges and provide mutual benefit.
