Global Innovation Alliance Network of Trial Sites (GIANTS)
The conduct of high-quality clinical trials in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is vital for providing equitable access to healthcare innovations and ensuring that products, technologies, and practices are safe and effective in LMICs’ diverse populations. However, too few LMIC healthcare facilities have experience conducting clinical trials, and many LMICs are significantly underrepresented in clinical trials.
Under the purview of its Global Innovation Alliance (GIA) infectious disease program, BVGH established the GIA Network of Trial Sites (GIANTS) to build and promote infectious disease clinical trial capabilities and inclusion in LMICs through:
- Training programs.
- Facilitation of clinical trial partnerships between LMIC investigators and international collaborators.
- Publication of LMIC sites’ clinical trial readiness profiles—showcasing institutional capabilities and priorities, as well as the expertise and interests of individual investigators—on BVGH’s GIANTS Online Platform.

GIANTS Site Map
BVGH’s GIANTS Online Platform profiles the infectious disease clinical trial infrastructures, skills, processes, and resources of healthcare and research facilities, and individual investigators, in LMICs. See our map platform below to learn more about the investigators and research sites deepening our understanding of infectious diseases and driving access to life-changing innovations.
Find clinical trial sites by selecting filter parameters from the dropdown menus at the bottom of the map. Sites matching all filters will display on the map — click to view a full profile of the site. Hit reset to clear all filters.
