In support of these specific aims we have created four distinct annualtraining sessions: 1) week-long annual planning meetings hosted by either UNILAG or UI andfacilitated by the NU team; 2) ten-week long biomedical engineering training programs at theUniversity of Cape Town (UCT) facilitated by UCT and NU faculty ; 3) participation in two-week long Kellogg

They were also asked to identify themost relevant reference material from the prior work that is most closely related to their area ofresearch.Once the topic was refined through the literature search, student participants were asked todevelop a project plan, working with their faculty mentor.
