Strengthening Health systems capacity in Africa for Pandemic Equity and Responsiveness (SHARPER)

SHARPER aims to examine relevant legal, scientific, regulatory, ethical, and advocacy mechanisms related to research through case studies; identify opportunities to advance post-trial access for populations; develop innovative tools, courses, and materials; and produce a range of peer-reviewed academic outputs. SHARPER also aims to effect strategic communication to engage communities, regulatory bodies, ethics committees, and regional and international governing bodies on ways of improving access to research benefits to African populations.
