Local research capacity building
Impact both local research sustainability and also junior faculty and researchers
Resource limitation
Research funding is limited especially for LMIC
Multiple responsibilities and priorities of PIs in LMICs
Individuals with multiple administrative, teaching and research responsibilities.
Multiple parallel initiatives
There are situations in which same country or same institutions have parallel projects that have similar or near similar aims and hence deviating resources.
