Lessons from Pathfinder Studies in Latin America and the Caribbean (English Audio)

On 11 December 2025, at 11:00 (Brasília time), the webinar “Strengthening Research Capacity and Collaboration in Health: lessons from Pathfinder studies in Latin America and the Caribbean” took place, organised by The Global Health Network Latin America and the Caribbean. The event will bring together researchers from institutions in the The Global Health Network Latin America and the Caribbean consortium, including Fiocruz, who are involved in the Pathfinder studies to present findings, experiences, and recommendations that can support structural advances in health research across the region. What are the Pathfinder studies? Pathfinder studies were designed to analyse real-world health research processes, identify bottlenecks, propose solutions, and strengthen local capacities across diverse contexts. The initiative aims to enhance institutional collaboration, support more efficient research practices, and foster innovation in areas such as epidemiological surveillance, clinical trials, and participatory research. What to expect from the Pathfinder webinar? During the online event, participants will learn about solutions and lessons from health research projects mapped using the Pathfinder methodology, and how it contributes to improving methodologies, integrating teams, and accelerating the development of evidence to support public health decision-making.
