The Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO) and the Red Cochrane Iberoamericana (RCIB) offer a series of virtual webinars/workshops for researchers of the Americas under their cooperative agreement. The workshops are framed within the signed alliance between PAHO and RCIB to train research personnel - an integral component of the national health systems. The workshops are possible with support from the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo, AECID.
