Research Programs in The Bahamas
Here is a list of research teams that are currently are conducting research in the country, including a web link and a couple of key words regarding the types of research they conduct. Obviously, with the myriad research programs in the country, I may have missed many. If you are not on this list and would like to be, please let us know. Be patient with me – not an easy list to compile!
I haven’t integrated a searchable format yet, but if you simply use the “search” or “find” tool in your browser, you should be able to quickly isolate the researcher keywords that you may be most interested in.
