Framework in Global Health: Local to Global Health

描述（由申请人提供）：这个拟议的框架项目“从本地到全球”将汇集华盛顿大学医学，公共卫生，法律和艺术与科学四个独立学院的教师和资源，以应对改善全球健康的挑战。该项目的目标是开发新的课程资源和行政框架，以消除障碍，促进下一代研究人员，供应商和决策者在全球卫生领域的多学科培训。具体来说，在为期三年的项目，我们将：1）开发一个协调的，跨学科的课程，将激励和激励本科生，研究生和研究人员感兴趣和/或活跃在全球健康。2)建立广泛的现有和发展中的全球健康活动在华盛顿大学的全面概述，和行政结构，以协调这些方案，提供信息共享，交叉施肥和学术，研究和培训机会的综合数据库。3)通过协同目前在该地区工作的教师和研究人员的努力，建立全球健康选区，为那些目前没有参与全球健康问题的人提供外展服务，并加强与我们的国际合作伙伴和西北地区合作伙伴的联系。4)系统地评估赠款在短期和中期成就中开展的活动。全球卫生的进步需要医学、公共卫生、法律和社会科学的多学科合作。华盛顿大学（UW）是越来越多的大学之一，开始解决全球卫生问题的复杂性，并正在形成一个全球卫生部将于2009年运作的过程。它还主办了全球卫生竞技场的大量项目和研究，包括6个福格蒂项目，人口领导计划和许多研究项目。这些研究企业遍布整个大学，没有机会分享资源，最佳实践或想法。该计划将作为跨学校和项目工作的“概念证明”，以系统化教学和学习中的科学卓越，并将加强和推进国际合作研究工作，并将新的学生和研究人员带入全球卫生工作。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposed Frameworks project "From Local to Global" will bring together the faculty and resources of four separate schools at the University of Washington-Medicine, Public Health, Law, and Arts and Sciences-to address the challenges of improving global health. The goal of this project is to develop new curricular resources and administrative frameworks that will remove barriers to and facilitate multidisciplinary training in global health for the next generation of researchers, providers, and policy makers. Specifically over the three-year project we will: 1) Develop a coordinated, interdisciplinary curriculum that will energize and inspire undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers interested and/or active in global health. 2) Establish a comprehensive overview of the wide range of existing and developing global health activities at the University of Washington, and an administrative structure to coordinate these programs, providing information sharing, cross-fertilization and an integrated database of academic, research, and training opportunities. 3) Build the global health constituency by synergizing the efforts of faculty and researchers currently working in the area, providing outreach to those not currently involved in global health issues, and strengthening ties to our international partners and our Northwest regional partners. 4) Systematically evaluate activities carried out by the grant in short-term and medium-term accomplishments. Advances in global health require multidisciplinary collaboration in medicine, public health, law, and social sciences. The University of Washington (UW) is one of a growing number of universities to begin to address the complexity of issues in global health, and is in the process of forming a Department of Global Health to be functional in 2009. It is also host to a significant number of programs and research in the global health arena, including 6 Fogarty programs, the Population Leadership Program, and numerous research projects. Spread as they are across the university, these research enterprises have not had the opportunity to share resources, best practices, or ideas. The program will serve as a "proof of concept" for working across schools and programs to systematize scientific excellence in teaching and learning and will reinforce and advance international collaborative research efforts and bring new students and researchers into the global health effort.
