全球卫生研究人员经常忽视相互学习和受益，以解决高收入、低收入和中等收入环境中的共同卫生挑战。借鉴美国印第安纳州大学和肯尼亚莫伊大学之间长达30年的合作伙伴关系，我们描述了一种创新的方法和计划，用于相互学习和互惠创新。互惠创新利用双向、共同构成和迭代的思想、资源和创新交流，以应对全球不同环境下的共同卫生挑战。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的成功，导致一些创新被“带回”美国。为了促进学习和创新的双向流动，印第安纳州CTSI互惠创新计划举办了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，支持互惠交流和利益项目的试点赠款，并为研究人员制作教育和培训材料。全球卫生解决系统性卫生不平等的变革力量包括各国和学术界、从业人员和决策者之间的平等和互惠互利的伙伴关系。利用长期的合作伙伴关系，印第安纳州CTSI建立了一个互惠的创新计划，承诺在全球范围内重新定义全球健康，实现共同福祉。
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.
