## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT
This application is a request for a diversity supplement for Mr. Ayodeji Akere. The supplement aims to
provide mentorship, training, and advance research experience for a Baccalaureate student via the
recently funded Integration of Hypertension Management in HIV Care in Nigeria: A Task Strengthening
Strategy grant (#HL147811). Within the scope of Dr. Ogedegbe’s R01 (1R01HL147811-01A1), Mr.
Akere’s post-baccalaureate research plan will be to assist with various technical aspects for the parent
study of the parent grant. Mr. Akere will focus on assessing hypertension management processes within
the study sites or the primary healthcare centers (PHCs) in Lagos by conducting a rapid ethnographic
assessment of each site – a key component for the practice facilitation strategy of the parent study.
Through this project, Mr. Akere will receive exposure to the research process, engage in research
training and mentorship, and receive assistance with career development opportunities to strengthen
his application to medical school.
