Recent global initiatives, such as the Research &amp; Development Task Force of the Global Health Security Agenda and the World Health Assembly\u2019s resolution on strengthening clinical trials, emphasize the need for robust research capabilities. This Perspective discusses the experiences of leaders in infectious disease research and capacity building in low- and middle-income countries, focusing on Colombia, Jamaica, and Pakistan. These case studies underscore the importance of collaborative efforts, interdisciplinary training, and global partnerships in pandemic response. The experiences highlight the necessity for rapid pathogen identification, capacity for genomic sequencing, and proactive engagement with policymakers. Challenges faced, including the shortage of trained staff and reliance on imported reagents, emphasize the ongoing need for building research capacity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.23-0675","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,23]],"date-time":"2024-01-23T20:59:28Z","timestamp":1706043568000},"page":"417-420","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Building
