Background: New York University was awarded a grant from the United States Department of State to build evidence-based policy and practice capacity in the Republic of Georgia among healthcare managers, policy analysts, policy makers, public health practitioners, health insurance agents/planners, and healthcare providers working in the public and private sector, Ministry of Labor, Health & Social Affairs, Ministry of Finance, health care policy think tanks, and civil society organizations. The grant program, titled the Georgian Research Training Program, is a collaborative research training program between the health professions schools at New York University (NYU) and three Georgian universities over a period of two years. The three Georgian universities include the Tbilisi State University, Tbilisi State Medical University, and the University of Georgia.
