Connecting Research Partners
Researchers who want to integrate faith and health will find great value here. If you’re faculty or student at a university, we can help you integrate faith into your research, find collaborators, and connect with organizational partners. Cross-disciplinary global research teams strengthen the opportunities to learn from different perspectives and catalyze learning to address complex problems. You can also become a part time Research Assistant for the Meros Center using your skills to support the ministry.
- Connect with Research Scholars with vast areas of expertise and experience in global regions. Start by reviewing our current network below.
- Become a Research Assistant for the Meros Center, either virtual or in the field. Start by filling out an application.
My research interests include the intersection of faith and health care, in particular low and middle income countries (LMICs). Meros helped connect me with like-minded practitioners, refined the research study design, and provided guidance to both myself and undergraduate researchers in qualitative research methodology.
