UNC-Chapel Hill Framework Program in Global Health

位于查佩尔山的北卡罗来纳州大学提出了一项全球健康框架计划，该计划将建立在扩大整个大学及其他地区全球健康的努力之上。这个新的计划将协调多学科的方法来研究和实践的全球健康在本科和研究生课程。它将通过一个针对在全球卫生方面几乎没有经验的个人的小额赠款计划，促进和支持学生和教师的研究。 在过去几年中，大学生和研究生对全球卫生的培训和机会的需求不断增加。已经有一个充满活力的全校学生全球健康委员会（www.unc.edu/sghc）。在公共卫生学院新成立的全球卫生办公室（www.unc.edu/ogh）已经开始在校园内推广，并准备在更多的机构和外部支持下扩大这些努力。在剑桥大学的智力环境被广泛认为是学院和协作，并有强大的，跨学科的教学和研究的许多例子借鉴。这些包括在大学的几个跨学科中心，如卡罗莱纳人口中心，健康预防和疾病预防中心，国际和地区研究中心，以及传染病中心-所有这些都已经具有全球范围。 在全球健康的全球健康框架计划汇集了校园里的正式合作伙伴，包括许多NIH资助的全球健康调查。它吸引了当地和国际研究组织和机构的参与。校园内的合作伙伴和外部同事一直积极参与开发的可持续发展框架计划。通过校内合作伙伴的财务和实物机构承诺，以及对校内和校外新研究和课程合作的支持，产生了浓厚的兴趣。 框架方案将： 1.为本科生和研究生开发全校范围的全球卫生课程，并开发新的多学科课程。 2.建立一个行政框架，协调全球卫生活动。 3.支持和扩大研究工作，并通过关键的支持活动加强全球卫生课程。

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) proposes a Framework Program in Global Health, which will build on efforts to expand global health across the University and beyond. This new program will coordinate a multidisciplinary approach to the study and practice of global health in the undergraduate and graduate curricula. It will facilitate and support student and faculty research through a small grants program targeted to individuals with little prior experience in global health. Over the past several years, UNC has experienced an increased demand from both undergraduate and graduate students for more training and opportunities in global health. There already exists a vibrant, University-wide Student Global Health Committee (www.unc.edu/sghc). The newly founded Office of Global Health (www.sph.unc.edu/ogh) in the School of Public Health has begun to reach across campus, and is poised to expand these efforts with more institutional and external support. The intellectual environment at UNC is widely viewed as collegial and collaborative, and there are many examples of strong, interdisciplinary teaching and research to draw upon. These include several interdisciplinary Centers at the University, such as the Carolina Population Center, Center for Health Prevention and Disease Prevention, international and area studies centers, and Center for Infectious Disease - all of which already have a global scope. The UNC Framework Program in Global Health brings together a diverse set of formal partners on campus, including many NIH-funded global health investigators. It engages local and international research organizations and institutions. On-campus partners and external colleagues have been actively involved in the development of the UNC Framework Program. Substantial interest has been generated, demonstrated through financial and in-kind institutional commitments from on-campus partners, as well as support for new research and curricular collaborations both on and off campus. The Framework Program will: 1. Develop university-wide global health curricula for undergraduate and graduate students and develop new multidisciplinary courses. 2. Create an administrative framework to coordinate global health activities across UNC. 3. Support and expand research endeavors and strengthen the curricula in global health through key supporting activities.
