PREPSS peer review training provides participants with the knowledge and skills to become an effective peer reviewer. Participants who complete the training will provide follow-up writing support to faculty and researchers in low-income and middle-income countries who have undergone initial training on scientific writing and publishing.
Public health is a global effort. The scientific community will benefit from learning about published research from resource-poor countries that may otherwise be unknown.
Our health benefits broadly from these activities.
