FRAMEWORK PROGRAM FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

描述(申请人提供)：这项名为“全球健康框架计划”的提议将鼓励康奈尔大学资助的全球健康研究人员在国内和国际地点的研究和培训计划中进行更多的合作和互动。康奈尔大学的五个学院将开发一个多学科的本科、专业和研究生课程：威尔·康奈尔医学院(WCMC)、人类生态学、兽医、艺术和科学以及农业和生命科学。全体教师将创建一个全球健康课程，将新课程和研讨会与现有课程以及国内和国际研究经验和实习相结合。这将为下一代全球卫生科学家提供一条职业道路。对于本科生来说，这门课程将以全球健康为新的重点，向任何大学的任何专业的学生开放。对于研究生、医学生和博士后研究员，该课程将提供新的研讨会课程以及在国际现场进行研究的机会。教学性和实践性课程的重点将是研究和控制贫困疾病。我们将全球健康定义为研究、服务和培训，以解决超越国界的健康问题，这些问题对资源贫乏的影响不成比例，最好通过多学科解决方案来解决。我们的愿景是在康奈尔大学创建一个可持续和创新的大学范围内的全球健康培训计划，吸引来自多个学科的本科生、研究生和医学生和教职员工来解决全球健康问题。最终结果将是，康奈尔大学在人类和兽医、营养、农业和基础科学领域的更多优秀学生将为全球健康，特别是资源匮乏国家的问题做出终身贡献。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal, "Framework Program for Global Health," will encourage funded researchers in global health at Cornell University to engage in greater collaboration and interactions in research and training programs at domestic and international sites. A multidisciplinary undergraduate, professional, and graduate curriculum will be developed by the five Cornell University colleges: Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC), Human Ecology, Veterinary Medicine, Arts and Sciences, and Agriculture and Life Sciences. Collectively, the faculty will create a global health curriculum that combines new courses and seminars with existing courses and domestic and international research experiences and internships. This will provide a career pathway for the next generation of global health scientists. For undergraduate students, this curriculum will culminate in a new concentration in global health, open to students with any major in any college. For graduate and medical students and postdoctoral fellows, this curriculum will provide new seminar courses as well as opportunities for research at international field sites. The focus of didactic and practical curricula will be the study and control of diseases of poverty. We define Global Health as research, service, and training that addresses health problems that transcend national boundaries, that disproportionately affect the resource poor, and are best addressed by multidisciplinary solutions. Our vision is to create a sustainable and innovative university-wide Global Health training program at Cornell University that engages undergraduate, graduate, and medical students and faculty from multiple disciplines to solve problems of global health. The end result will be that more of Cornell's outstanding students in human and veterinary medicine, nutrition, agriculture and basic sciences will make lifelong contributions to global health, particularly problems of resource-poor countries.
