AB  - Inequities in global health research are well documented. For example, training 
      opportunities for US investigators to conduct research in low-income and 
      middle-income countries (LMIC) have exceeded opportunities for LMIC investigators 
      to train and conduct research in high-income countries. Reciprocal innovation 
      addresses these inequities through collaborative research across diverse global 
      settings.The Fogarty International Center of the US National Institutes of Health 
      (NIH) promotes research capacity building in LMICs. Fogarty K-grants for mentored 
      career development in global health are available for both US and LMIC 
      investigators, whereas the D43 is the standard grant to support institutional 
      training programmes in LMIC. Other NIH institutes fund T32 training grants to 
      support biomedical research training in the USA, but very few have any global 
      health component. Most global health training partnerships have historically 
      focused on research conducted solely in LMIC, with few examples of bidirectional 
      training partnerships. Opportunities may exist to promote global health 
      reciprocal innovation (GHRI) research by twinning K-awardees in the USA with 
      those from LMIC or by intentionally creating partnerships between T32 and D43 
      training programmes.To sustain independent careers in GHRI research, trainees 
      must be supported through the path to independence known as the K (mentored 
      grantee)-to-R (independent grantee) transition. Opportunities to support this 
      transition include comentorship, research training at both LMIC and US 
      institutions and protected time and resources for research. Other opportunities 
      for sustainability include postdoctoral training before and after the K-award 
      period, absorption of trained researchers into home institutions, South-South 
      training initiatives and innovations to mitigate brain drain.
