Fostering Global Health Opportunitties at Emory and its Partners

描述（由申请人提供）：全球健康是大学奖学金的一个引人注目的领域。通过发现、教育和服务，美国大学每年拯救和改善数百万人的生命，帮助资源有限的国家成为自给自足的世界经济贡献者。由于其多样的和动态的研究和学术课程，并与疾病控制和预防中心（CDC），CARE，卡特中心，儿童生存与发展工作组，以及亚特兰大和世界各地的其他全球卫生组织的独特合作关系，埃默里大学已经是全国领先的大学之一，用于减少发展中国家的疾病，促进健康和福祉。2004年，埃默里大学及其附属机构的校外全球保健资金估计为1.5亿美元。认识到埃默里大学在全球健康方面的巨大资产和潜力，这一领域最近被选为即将到来的雄心勃勃的资本运动支持的7个大学范围内的举措之一。这为我们提出的框架计划提供了一个机会，以支持课程活动的发展，并在这个过渡时期催化埃默里大学在全球健康方面的道路。在现有优势的基础上，我们的广泛目标是促进卓越的研究，教学和实践，以促进埃默里大学全球健康的凝聚力社区。具体目标如下：（a）使新的研究生和本科生群体接触全球卫生研究。B）增加研究生在发展中国家进行实地研究的机会。c）增加埃默里大学及其在亚特兰大和世界各地的合作伙伴的各个单位之间关于全球健康研究，教学和实践的沟通。d）促进关于全球健康的创新研究，整合大学及其合作伙伴的各种学科优势，并考虑将研究成果转化为实践。具体活动包括实施新的全球健康本科未成年人，为整个大学的研究生开发全球健康课程，设计全球健康和人类学博士学位，扩大本科生和研究生的夏季实地研究机会，培养合作机构网络，为学生提供夏季实地研究机会，在埃默里大学开设全球卫生系列讲座，为国际研究员举办研讨会，并建立“埃默里大学全球卫生”网站。通过这些活动，我们将加强合作，使埃默里大学在全球卫生方面的大量但往往互不相关的举措具有凝聚力，并为大学的全球卫生战略优先事项铺平道路。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Global Health is a compelling area of scholarship for universities. Through discovery, education and service, US universities save and enhance millions of lives annually and help resource-constrained nations become self-sustaining, contributing members of the world economy. Thanks to its varied and dynamic research and academic programs and unique partnerships with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CARE, the Carter Center, the Task Force for Child Survival and Development, and other global health organizations in Atlanta and around the world, Emory is already one of the nation's leading universities for reducing disease in the developing world and for promoting health and well being. Extramural global health funding at Emory and its affiliates was estimated at $150 million for 2004. Recognizing Emory's considerable assets and potential in global health, this area was recently selected as one of 7 university-wide initiatives to be supported trough a forthcoming ambitious capital campaign. This presents an opportunity for the framework program we propose to support the development of curricular activities and catalyze Emory's path in global health in this transition period. Building upon existing strengths, our broad objective is to promote excellence in research, teaching and practice to catalyze a cohesive community of global health at Emory University. The specific aims are as follows: a) To expose new segments of graduate and undergraduate students to the study of global health. b) To increase opportunities for graduate students to carry out field research in developing countries. c) To increase communication about global health research, teaching and practice among the various units of Emory University and its partners in Atlanta and around the world. d) To foster innovative research about global health that integrates the various disciplinary strengths of the university and its partners and that considers the translation of research findings to practice. Specific activities include implementing a new undergraduate minor in global health, developing a course in global health for graduate students across the university, designing a PhD in Global Health and Anthropology, expanding summer field research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, nurturing the network of collaborating institutions providing opportunities for student summer field research, implementing a university-wide lecture series in global health and a seminar for international fellows and creating a web site "Global Health at Emory". Through these activities, we will enhance collaboration and bring cohesion to Emory's substantial but often unconnected initiatives in global health and pave the way for the University's strategic priority of global health.
