Abstract
This coupled with various other barriers such as access to training resources, access to skilled trainers, remote locations, and the relatively high costs associated with training activities act as major barriers to delivering training in LMICs. Bioinformatics training is required at every stage of a scientist's research career. Funding for training is often available through dedicated grants for training or through explicit budget lines in research projects that aim to build bioinformatics capacity. One of the important strands of these initiatives is a drive to organize and deliver valuable bioinformatics training, but organizing and delivering short bioinformatics training workshops in an LMIC present a unique set of challenges.
