UC-Irvine Framework Program for Global Health

描述（由申请人提供）：UC-Irvine全球健康框架计划拟议的全球健康框架计划在加州大学欧文分校建立在坚定的承诺，在大学发展全球健康的综合教育和培训计划，并在全球健康的有力研究组合的支持。自2003年在加州大学欧文分校建立了校园范围的公共卫生计划以来，大学本科生对在发展中国家进行短期研究的机会的需求，以及研究生和教职员工对扩大其实验室研究的需求，包括发展中国家的实地研究，迅速增长。此外，加州大学欧文分校的教师最近获得了几项关于全球健康的重大研究赠款，包括比尔和梅林达盖茨基金会全球健康倡议的资助，NIH生物防御和新兴传染病中心的资助，以及全球传染病研究培训计划的资助。然而，目前大学提供的全球健康相关课程分散在校园内的各个系和学院，缺乏中央协调，全球健康课程的广度和深度有限。因此，有一个在校园内的协同努力，以加强在加州大学欧文分校的全球健康教育和培训活动的强烈需要。该框架计划的总体目标是通过校园内各实体之间的有组织的努力，包括健康科学学院，以及医学，生物科学，人文，社会生态和社会科学学院，开发全球健康的多学科课程和培训计划。有三个具体目标。首先，我们将为本科生、研究生和专业学生开发新的全球卫生多学科课程和学位课程;这包括新的核心课程和全球健康选修课系列，将由大学的所有学生访问，在全球健康，在MPH学位课程的全球健康浓度的本科未成年人的创建，以及全球健康研究生证书，将完全融入现有的研究生课程。第二，我们将为本科生、研究生和专业学生建立一个充满活力的全球健康研究培训项目，进一步加强加州大学欧文分校的全球健康研究。最后，我们将建立一个行政结构，以协调和促进教师，学生和社区参与全球卫生。该框架计划将显著提高加州大学欧文分校的全球健康研究教育能力，并帮助对全球健康研究和教育感兴趣的学生的职业发展。公共卫生相关性：根据拟议的全球健康框架计划，将通过校园内有组织的努力开发全球健康的多学科课程和培训计划。将加强对本科生、研究生和专业学生的全球卫生研究培训。将建立一个行政结构，以协调和促进教师，学生和社区参与全球卫生。因此，该框架计划将显著提高加州大学欧文分校的全球健康研究教育能力，并加强对全球健康感兴趣的学生的职业发展。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): UC-Irvine Framework Program for Global Health The proposed Framework Program for Global Health at the University of California, Irvine is built on a strong commitment to developing a comprehensive education and training program in global health at the university and supported by a vigorous research portfolio in global health. Since the establishment of the campus-wide Program in Public Health at UC-Irvine in 2003, demands from undergraduate students at the university for opportunities to conduct short-term research in developing countries, and from graduate students and faculty members for expanding their laboratory-based research to include field components in developing countries, have grown rapidly. Additionally, UC-Irvine faculty have recently received several major research grants on global health, including a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Global Health Initiative, a NIH Biodefense and Emerging Infectious Disease Center grant, and a Global Infectious Disease Research Training Program grant. However, courses related to global health offered at the University are currently scattered in various departments and Schools on campus, and lack central coordination, and the breadth and depth of curriculum in global health is limited. Therefore, there is a strong need for a concerted effort across the campus to enhance the global health education and training activities at UC-Irvine. The overall objective of this Framework Program is to develop multidisciplinary curricula and training program in global health through an organized effort among various entities across the campus, including the College of Health Sciences, and the Schools of Medicine, Biological Sciences, Humanities, Social Ecology and Social Sciences. There are three specific aims. First, we will develop new multidisciplinary curricula and degree programs in global health for undergraduate, graduate and professional students; this includes new core courses and series of electives in global health that will be accessible by all students in the university, creation of an undergraduate minor in Global Health, a Global Health Concentration in the MPH degree program, and a Graduate Certificate in Global Health that will be fully integrated into the existing graduate programs. Secondly, we will establish a vigorous research training program in global health for undergraduate, graduate and professional students, and further enhance the global health research at UC-Irvine. Finally, we will create an administrative structure to coordinate and promote faculty, student, and community engagement with global health. This framework program will significantly enhance global health research education capacity at UC-Irvine, and help the career growth of students interested in global health research and education. Public Health Relevance: Under the proposed Framework Program for Global Health, a multidisciplinary curricula and training program in global health will be developed through an organized effort across the campus. Research training in global health for undergraduate, graduate and professional students will be strengthened. An administrative structure to coordinate and promote faculty, student, and community engagement with global health will be established. Therefore, this Framework program will significantly enhance global health research education capacity at UC-Irvine, and strengthen the career growth of students interested in global health.
