Center for Global Health Studies

Mission of the Center for Global Health Studies:

To catalyze research to address global health challenges through multidisciplinary and multi-sector dialogue, collaboration and training
In partnership with NIH Institutes and Centers, the Center for Global Health Studies (CGHS) identifies emerging research priorities and stimulates new scientific directions in global health, and supports multidisciplinary collaboration and short-term training to address pressing global health problems, complementing the strategic guidance efforts of Fogarty's Division of International Science Policy, Planning and Evaluation (DISPPE).
The Center convenes program implementers, policymakers and leading scientists from the NIH, low- and middle-income countries and the U.S. to discuss critical research priorities, opportunities and synergies around specific global health challenges. CGHS also moves the implementation science agenda forward by promoting relevant research methods and frameworks, and fostering the development of new approaches and skills to translate scientific evidence into health policy and practice. Supported projects aim to generate practical, science-based deliverables, such as publications in reputable scientific journals, training materials and tool kits.
