The Global Network for Women's and Children's Health Research established an innovative and flexible research network that has been responsive to the most critical existing and emerging health needs and public health problems of women and children globally. International, multidisciplinary teams of investigators (research units) have worked collaboratively to answer scientific and public health questions to help improve health and to prevent premature disease and death among women and children, primarily in developing countries. Initial efforts focused on safe pregnancy and birth outcomes within the broader context of women's and young children's health. Strategies to sustain proven interventions after funding is withdrawn have been developed and implemented. RTI International served as the data coordinating center for the Global Network and was responsible for central training in research methods, statistical leadership, data collection, and management, including tracking systems, study communications and logistics, and assistance with materials development. Additionally, RTI staff members functioned as active participants of the steering committee, workgroups, and protocol teams.
