The International Statistics & Epidemiology Partnership
Published in on 14 October 2024
The aim of the MRC International Statistics and Epidemiology Partnership (ISEP) is to define and implement a sustainable strategy to expand capacity in applied medical statistics in sub-Saharan Africa.
The partnership is unique in focusing on career pathways for early-mid career applied medical statisticians who, lack career and skills development opportunities, and report isolation which can lead to poor job satisfaction and retention. The ISEP structure is grounded in principles of equitable partnerships, African-centred and embedded with management and leadership training.
The ISEP was presented to the NIHR Statistics Group conference in June 2024.
