DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): As global commerce and immigration have increased, there is an acute need for training programs focused on global health. Galveston is a natural site for such as training program. Galveston is a major port and international trade was the main impetus for the development of the city. Texas is also a major center for immigration with 26% of the population of the metropolitan area born in foreign countries, including large populations born in Mexico, Central and South America, Asia, and Africa. Thus, health care in Galveston is forced to have an international focus. The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) was the first continuously operating medical school west of the Mississippi. It is composed of 4 schools (biomedical sciences, medicine, nursing, and allied health). Each of the schools has been heavily involved internationally. UTMB is the site of WHO/PAHO collaborating centers in Tropical Diseases, Training in International Health, and Aging. UTMB student groups have also been active in global health. UTMB has recently recruited several faculty focused on global health with a goal of becoming the pre-eminent center for global health for the Southwest. The specific aims of this proposal are: 1) To develop an administrative framework to coordinate global health activities on the UTMB campus, 2) To develop graduate programs in global health including a global health concentration within the MPH program and an international research ethics concentration within the masters program in medical humanities, 3) To leverage UTMB's expertise in telemedicine to develop a global grand rounds video conference, 4) To foster conferences and seminars focused on global health, 5) To recruit trainees into the field of global health and nurture their interest by funding short-term overseas fellowships for medical, nursing, allied health and graduate students. In accomplishing these objectives, we will develop new degree programs focused on global health, develop ongoing conference series, both locally and via telemedicine, and provide a generation of trainees with hands-on experience in global health. In the process, we anticipate recruiting and nurturing a cadre of bright young leaders into the field of global health research. These programs will also provide a platform for additional fundraising for a sustained global health program at UTMB. Public Health Relevance: The Galveston Global Health Consortium is a coordinated effort by the schools of Medicine, Nursing, Allied Health and Biomedical Sciences of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. It will recruit and nurture trainees in global health by developing global health concentrations in public health and ethics graduate degree programs; providing lectures; case conferences; and conferences on global health; and by providing funding for research training in developing countries.

描述（由申请人提供）：随着全球商业和移民的增加，迫切需要针对全球健康的培训计划。加尔维斯顿是此类培训项目的天然场所。加尔维斯顿是一个主要港口，国际贸易是该城市发展的主要动力。德克萨斯州也是主要的移民中心，该都市区26%的人口出生在国外，其中大量人口出生在墨西哥、中南美洲、亚洲和非洲。因此，加尔维斯顿的医疗保健被迫成为国际焦点。德克萨斯大学医学院 (UTMB) 是密西西比河以西第一所持续运营的医学院。它由4个学院组成（生物医学学院、医学学院、护理学院和联合健康学院）。每所学校都积极参与国际事务。 UTMB 是 WHO/PAHO 热带病、国际健康培训和老龄化合作中心的所在地。 UTMB 学生团体也积极参与全球健康领域。 UTMB 最近招募了几名专注于全球健康的教员，目标是成为西南地区卓越的全球健康中心。该提案的具体目标是： 1) 制定一个行政框架来协调 UTMB 校园的全球健康活动， 2) 开发全球健康研究生课程，包括 MPH 课程中的全球健康重点和医学人文硕士课程中的国际研究伦理重点， 3) 利用 UTMB 在远程医疗方面的专业知识举办全球大型视频会议， 4) 促进以全球健康为重点的会议和研讨会， 5) 招募全球健康领域的学员，并通过资助医疗、护理、联合健康和研究生的短期海外奖学金培养他们的兴趣。为了实现这些目标，我们将开发专注于全球健康的新学位课程，通过本地和远程医疗开发持续的会议系列，并为一代学员提供全球健康的实践经验。在此过程中，我们预计将招募和培养一批才华横溢的年轻领导者进入全球健康研究领域。这些计划还将为 UTMB 持续的全球健康计划提供额外筹款平台。公共卫生相关性：加尔维斯顿全球健康联盟是加尔维斯顿德克萨斯大学医学分校医学院、护理学院、联合健康学院和生物医学学院的协调努力。它将通过在公共卫生和道德研究生学位课程中发展全球健康重点来招募和培养全球健康方面的学员；提供讲座；案例会议；以及全球卫生会议；并为发展中国家的研究培训提供资金。
