Date: Thursday, October 22, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM CT | 5:00 PM Cairo

Join us for a panel presentation with Texas A&M University, Benha University, and Oregon Health and Science University as they explore systematic and scoping reviews as practical models for equitable international collaboration, allowing transdisciplinary teams to work together while navigating these challenges.

Researchers from the U.S. and Egypt will share strategies for coordinating international review teams, applying rigorous evidence-synthesis frameworks such as Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, and using research findings to identify evidence gaps and inform clinical and policy decisions.
