Current Projects

Universal ethics board

Carphlan Research Institute and UWI have partnered together to institute a new standard for overseas researchers to be certified by local institutional review boards following the disturbing findings of the 2021 biomedical research census. Documenting and addresssing neocolonialist practices in medical research is a regionally pressing issue that we are jointly committed to addressing.

depression and diabetes

Carphlan Research Institute has brought on global experts in the intersection of chronic disease and mental health to design, implement, and evaluate a counseling intervention for those in our community with dual diagnoses who are at high risk for diabetic complications such as amputation and retinopathy.

Sexual Violence and Addictions

Carphlan Research Institute is currently partnering with domestic violence shelters  and law enforcement in four separate nations to conduct a needs assessment among survivors. This work will identify gaps in substance abuse and mental health services.
