Abstract
Highlights
- The Global Alliance for Chronic Disease Hypertension Program created an innovative network of researchers.
- The network facilitated collaboration, learning, and opportunities for growth for researchers.
- Challenges included at times “too many” opportunities, which took away from core research.
- Access to experts such as health policymakers and decision makers was invaluable.
