The Dartmouth Global Health Initiative: Growing a Multidisciplinary Framework

描述（由申请人提供）：在全球健康框架项目的支持下，达特茅斯学院将承担达特茅斯全球健康倡议：发展多学科框架项目，为各级学生开发协调的多学科课程和新的全球健康教育机会。这些活动将遵循达特茅斯学院由约翰·斯隆·迪基国际了解中心指导的全球卫生倡议（GHI）现有的全球卫生多学科模式的蓝图。达特茅斯GHI代表了达特茅斯学院及其研究生项目之间的密切合作：达特茅斯医学院、塞耶工程学院、塔克商学院和艺术与科学研究生院。本提案的具体目标是：1)建立由达特茅斯大学迪基中心颁发的全球健康证书，为本科生和研究生提供掌握核心知识的逐步发展，并获得参与全球健康研究的必要技能；2)在本科和研究生院开设新的全球健康多学科课程，作为全球健康证书的基础，并最终构成卫生保健研究新辅修的全球健康轨道的核心课程，重点是研究伦理、方法、流行病学、信息学、卫生系统和儿童健康；3)为学生和教师举办关于全球卫生的研讨会和会议，内容包括科学资助和论文写作、在资源有限的环境中开展临床研究、健康作为国家发展和安全的决定因素，以及制药行业在全球卫生中的作用；4)通过每年增加4名本科生和5名研究生在达特茅斯国际项目和研究项目中的实习机会，扩大受指导的国际卫生研究的机会；5)通过建立一个由达特茅斯学院领导组成的执行顾问委员会，加强达特茅斯学院全球健康活动的行政协调；一个由所有国际项目的首席调查员组成的全球健康研究顾问委员会，以协调研究工作和指导学生的经历；并扩大了教职员工和学生在达特茅斯校园分享全球健康研究经验和进展的论坛。公共健康相关性：目前的提案将允许将全球健康倡议提升为达特茅斯的全球健康研究所，为全球健康项目的主要扩展提供总体方向。总的来说，拟议的计划将提高达特茅斯学院对全球公共卫生的认识，并为其提供正式的、高水平的培训。在该框架项目下，达特茅斯学院将培养全球公共卫生领域的未来领导者。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With the support of the Framework Program in Global Health, Dartmouth will undertake The Dartmouth Global Health Initiative: Growing a Multidisciplinary Framework program to develop a coordinated multidisciplinary curriculum and new educational opportunities in global health for students at all levels. These activities will follow the blueprint of an existing multidisciplinary model of global health at Dartmouth by its Global Health Initiative (GHI) directed from the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding. The Dartmouth GHI represents a close collaboration between Dartmouth College and its graduate programs: Dartmouth Medical School, Thayer School of Engineering, Tuck School of Business, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Specific aims of the present proposal are to: 1) establish a Certificate in Global Health to be awarded by Dartmouth's Dickey Center for undergraduate and graduate students that will provide a stepwise progression for mastering a core fund of knowledge and acquiring necessary skills for engagement in global health research; 2) develop new multidisciplinary courses in global health at the undergraduate and graduate schools to serve as the basis for the Certificate in Global Health and ultimately comprise the core curriculum of the global health track of a new minor in Health Care Research with an emphasis on research ethics, methods, epidemiology, informatics, health systems and child health; 3) conduct workshops and conferences in global health for students and faculty on scientific grant and manuscript writing, conducting clinical research in resource-limited settings, health as a determinant of national development and security, and the role of the pharmaceutical industry in global health; 4) expand opportunities for mentored international health research by adding 4 undergraduate and 5 graduate internship opportunities each year in one of Dartmouth's international programs and research projects; and 5) strengthen the administrative coordination of global health activities at Dartmouth through the establishment of an Executive Advisory Board comprised of the leadership of the schools at Dartmouth, a Global Health Research Advisory Board consisting of all lead investigators with international projects to coordinate research efforts and mentored student experiences, and expanded forums for faculty and students to share global health research experiences and progress across the Dartmouth campus. Public Health Relevance: The present proposal will permit elevation of the Global Health Initiative to a Global Health Institute at Dartmouth to provide overall direction for a major expansion of programs in global health. Collectively, the proposed plan will lead to an increased awareness of and formalized, high-caliber training in, global public health at Dartmouth. Under the Framework Program, Dartmouth will educate future leaders in global public health.
