Abstract：
Global health researchers often discount mutual learning and benefit to address shared health challenges across high and low- and middle-income settings. Drawing from a 30-year partnership called AMPATH that started between Indiana University in the US and Moi University in Kenya, we describe an innovative approach and program for mutual learning and benefit coined \'reciprocal innovation.\' Reciprocal innovation harnesses a bidirectional, co-constituted, and iterative exchange of ideas, resources, and innovations to address shared health challenges across diverse global settings. The success of AMPATH in Kenya, particularly in HIV/AIDS and community health, resulted in several innovations being \'brought back\' to the US. To promote the bidirectional flow of learning and innovations, the Indiana CTSI reciprocal innovation program hosts annual meetings of multinational researchers and practitioners to identify shared health challenges, supports pilot grants for projects with reciprocal exchange and benefit, and produces educational and training materials for investigators. The transformative power of global health to address systemic health inequities embraces equitable and reciprocal partnerships with mutual benefit across countries and communities of academics, practitioners, and policymakers. Leveraging a long-standing partnership, the Indiana CTSI has built a reciprocal innovation program with promise to redefine global health for shared wellbeing at a global scale.
摘要：
全球卫生研究人员经常忽视相互学习和利益，以应对高收入和低收入和中等收入环境中的共同健康挑战。从美国印第安纳大学和肯尼亚莫伊大学之间建立的名为AMPATH的30年合作伙伴关系中，我们描述了一种创新的方法和计划，以实现相互学习和利益创造了“互惠创新”。互惠创新利用双向，共同组成的，和反复的思想交流，资源,和创新，以应对各种全球环境中共同的健康挑战。AMPATH在肯尼亚的成功，特别是在艾滋病毒/艾滋病和社区卫生方面，导致了几项创新被“带回”美国。促进学习和创新的双向流动,印第安纳CTSI互惠创新计划主办跨国研究人员和从业人员的年度会议，以确定共同的健康挑战，支持互惠互利项目的试点赠款，并为调查人员制作教育和培训材料。全球卫生在解决系统性卫生不平等方面的变革力量包括公平和互惠的伙伴关系，各国和学术界都有互惠互利。从业者,和政策制定者。利用长期的伙伴关系，印第安纳州CTSI建立了一个互惠创新计划，承诺在全球范围内重新定义全球健康，以实现共享福祉。
