Collaborators and Team
The success of the CARRS Cohort is a result of a long-standing collaboration of partners in India & the US.
Some of these partnerships were established more than 13 years ago, while some relationships have formed more recently. Each institution contributes to the overall goals and objectives of this study. The partnerships built have fostered productive and impactful work and we're thankful for this continued collaboration.
