Season’s Greetings to the TROPHI Community

As we reflect on the past three years, we are proud of the incredible progress the TROPHI project has made; building capacity, strengthening networks, and fostering a collaborative culture that positions us for future growth and impact in research translation across the TROPHI region. Our recent TROPHI evaluation shows that TROPHI has built a connected community with a vested interest and motivation to drive research and translation.   

With these strong foundations in place, we are now ready to enter an exciting transition period in 2026. We look forward to reaching out to you early next year as we refine TROPHI to fit within the changing primary health care landscape within our region, and beyond.  

The enthusiasm and commitment shown by this community have been integral in TROPHI’s development, and we want to take this chance to thanks each and every one of you. Thank you for being with us every step of the way, and we look forward to shaping our new journey together in 2026.  
Wishing you and your loved ones a warm, safe, and joyful festive season.
