The Research Leadership Academy (RLA) was developed to fill this gap. The RLA is a structured leadership curriculum embedded within the NIH Fogarty-funded UJMT LAUNCH global health research fellowship grounded in experiential learning and established global leadership frameworks. The RLA aligns leadership training with key fellowship milestones, enabling fellows to learn and apply skills in real time at their international research sites. The curriculum was iteratively refined based on trainee feedback, transitioning from didactic instruction to case-based and discussion-oriented learning. The RLA provides a practical model for strengthening global health research leadership capacity and advancing collaborative, contextually grounded global health research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.26-0063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,7]],"date-time":"2026-07-07T17:17:29Z","timestamp":1783444649000},"page":"417-423","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Building Research Leadership for Global Health Impact"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"115","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"Kalbarczyk","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meagan","family":"Harrison","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, Maryland, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yukari C.","family":"Manabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Benjamin H.","family":"Chi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bhakti","family":"Hansoti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"b1","series-title":"Infect Dis Clin North Am","first-page":"347","article-title":"Teaching the basics: Core competencies in global health","volume":"25","author":"Arthur","year":"2011"},{"issue":"1","key":"b2","series-title":"Ann Glob Health","first-page":"47","article-title":"Establishing competencies for a global health workforce: Recommendations from the association of Pacific Rim universities","volume":"85","author":"Withers","year":"2019"},{"issue":"1","key":"b3","series-title":"Ann Glob Health","first-page":"65","article-title":"Training global health leaders: A critical review of competency gaps","volume":"87","author":"Hansoti","year":"2021"},{"issue":"1","key":"b4","series-title":"Ann Glob Health","first-page":"64","article-title":"Training curriculum, skills, and competencies for global health leaders: Good practices and lessons learned","volume":"87","author":"Schleiff","year":"2021"},{"issue":"1","key":"b5","series-title":"Int J Med Students","first-page":"15","article-title":"Teaching cultural competency through global health education at Weill Cornell Medicine","volume":"8","author":"Norris","year":"2020"},{"issue":"1","key":"b6","series-title":"Ann Glob Health","first-page":"66","article-title":"Building and sustaining effective partnerships for training the next generation of global health leaders","volume":"87","author":"Nakanjako","year":"2021"},{"issue":"5","key":"b7","series-title":"BMJ Glob Health","first-page":"e011522","article-title":"A pragmatic approach to equitable global health partnerships in academic health sciences","volume":"8","author":"Amisi","year":"2023"},{"issue":"3","key":"b8","series-title":"Am J Trop Med Hyg","first-page":"655","article-title":"Impact of global health research training on career trajectories: The Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars and Fellows Program","volume":"93","author":"Heimburger","year":"2015"},{"issue":"6","key":"b9","series-title":"Int J Epidemiol","first-page":"1829","article-title":"Current status and future prospects of epidemiology and public health training and research in the WHO African region","volume":"41","author":"Nachega","year":"2012"},{"key":"b10","article-title":"Our Approach: Center for Leadership\u2014Northwestern University.","year":"2025"},{"key":"b11","series-title":"J Healthc Leadersh","first-page":"19","article-title":"Health care leadership development and training: Progress and pitfalls","volume":"8","author":"Sonnino","year":"2016"},{"issue":"1","key":"b12","series-title":"Higher Educ Res Dev","first-page":"46","article-title":"What is effective research leadership?
