In 2005–06,
the MEAwards training program continued under a project
entitled “Building Capacity in Reproductive Health
Research,” funded by the David and Lucile Packard
Foundation. Nine junior researchers continued their
training through seminars and workshops on conducting
research, analyzing data, and writing reports. They were
awarded grants to conduct studies of groups at high risk for
HIV/AIDS and the use of maternal health services. A report
containing the findings of these studies is in preparation
