The CABANA project (Capacity Building for Bioinformatics in Latin America) was funded by the UK's Global Challenges Research Fund in 2017 with the aim to strengthen the bioinformatics capacity and extend its applications in Latin America focused on three challenge areas - communicable diseases, sustainable food production and protection of biodiversity. For 5 years, the project executed activities including data analysis workshops, train-the-trainer workshops, secondments, eLearning development, knowledge exchange meetings, and research projects in 10 countries. The project was successful in accomplishing all its goals with a major impact on the region. It became a model by which the research needs determined the training that was delivered. Multiple publications and over 800 trainees are part of the legacy of the project.
CABANA项目（拉丁美洲生物信息学能力建设）于2017年由英国全球挑战研究基金资助，旨在加强拉丁美洲的生物信息学能力，并将其应用扩展到三个挑战领域——传染病、可持续粮食生产和生物多样性保护。在5年时间里，该项目在10个国家开展了包括数据分析研讨会、培训师培训研讨会、借调、电子学习开发、知识交流会议和研究项目等活动。该项目成功实现了所有目标，对该地区产生了重大影响。它成为了一个由研究需求决定所提供培训的典范。众多出版物以及800多名学员是该项目遗产的一部分。
