about the center
Overview
Mission and Goals
The Center’s mission is to effectively address health issues that affect populations around the globe.
This mission is carried out through activities in support of four goals:
- Foster innovative, interdisciplinary global health research
- Create the next generation of global health leaders and scholars
- Facilitate sustained global health partnerships
- Promote translation of global health research findings into policy and practice
Led by Dr. Donald S. Burke, associate vice chancellor for global health, the Center employs a collaborative “problem-solving” approach to address the complex issues that affect global health. By partnering with schools and centers across the University, the Center leverages existing resources and draws on a range of expertise. The result is a dynamic environment that bridges the gap between basic and applied science and breaks interdisciplinary barriers.
The Center collaborates with external institutions and organizations to ensure coordinated approaches. By engaging local stakeholders, the Center builds sustained partnerships and creates opportunities to solve global health problems while bridging social and cultural differences.
