This imbalance is a result of colonial history, funding sources, and social and economic structures that have conferred power—including privilege, prominence, recognition, funding, opportunity, and decision-making authority—to institutions and individuals based in HICs. These deep-rooted structures have helped amplify the voices of those in HICs over the voices of those based in LMICs.2 In such a system, it is accepted that HICs have expertise to provide and LMICs have capacity gaps to fill.3 This imbalance is reflected in global health program planning, implementation, research, and publishing.4,5 We recognize that they are also reflected at GHSP.Amplified voice for those based in United States and elsewhere in … ER -
