    2019-05-24

    We built and improved on previous models of research capacity strengthening and used an integrated approach not only focused on individual researchers or providing technical assistance but also on fostering an institutional environment that nos inhibitor is supportive of safe and ethical science. Our main objective was to establish a locally owned research-based MSc programme in infectious and zoonotic diseases to continually educate new generations of researchers. Additionally, we expanded research networks, built a state-of-the-art research laboratory, installed the National Autonomous University of Honduras\'s first non-medical research ethics board, and led the creation of a biosafety training centre. We had many obstacles, but 5 years of arduous work have undoubtedly paid off. Students and researchers associated with the project are showing an increased capacity to do research, generate publications, attract funding, and, very importantly, to pursue collaborations with investigators within the region and beyond. Our work in Honduras helped to bridge the proverbial 10/90 gap and increased the demand for a national health research system that would increase the production and quality of health research in the country. We invite the global community to build on our efforts.
