项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Global Health is a compelling area of scholarship for universities. Through discovery, education and service, US universities save and enhance millions of lives annually and help resource-constrained nations become self-sustaining, contributing members of the world economy. Thanks to its varied and dynamic research and academic programs and unique partnerships with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), CARE, the Carter Center, the Task Force for Child Survival and Development, and other global health organizations in Atlanta and around the world, Emory is already one of the nation's leading universities for reducing disease in the developing world and for promoting health and well being. Extramural global health funding at Emory and its affiliates was estimated at $150 million for 2004. Recognizing Emory's considerable assets and potential in global health, this area was recently selected as one of 7 university-wide initiatives to be supported trough a forthcoming ambitious capital campaign. This presents an opportunity for the framework program we propose to support the development of curricular activities and catalyze Emory's path in global health in this transition period. Building upon existing strengths, our broad objective is to promote excellence in research, teaching and practice to catalyze a cohesive community of global health at Emory University. The specific aims are as follows: a) To expose new segments of graduate and undergraduate students to the study of global health. b) To increase opportunities for graduate students to carry out field research in developing countries. c) To increase communication about global health research, teaching and practice among the various units of Emory University and its partners in Atlanta and around the world. d) To foster innovative research about global health that integrates the various disciplinary strengths of the university and its partners and that considers the translation of research findings to practice. Specific activities include implementing a new undergraduate minor in global health, developing a course in global health for graduate students across the university, designing a PhD in Global Health and Anthropology, expanding summer field research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students, nurturing the network of collaborating institutions providing opportunities for student summer field research, implementing a university-wide lecture series in global health and a seminar for international fellows and creating a web site "Global Health at Emory". Through these activities, we will enhance collaboration and bring cohesion to Emory's substantial but often unconnected initiatives in global health and pave the way for the University's strategic priority of global health.

描述（由申请人提供）：全球健康是大学的一个引人注目的奖学金领域。通过发现、教育和服务，美国大学每年拯救和改善数百万人的生命，并帮助资源有限的国家成为自给自足、为世界经济做出贡献的成员。得益于其多样化且充满活力的研究和学术项目以及与疾病控制和预防中心 (CDC)、CARE、卡特中心、儿童生存和发展工作组以及亚特兰大和周边地区其他全球卫生组织的独特合作关系。在世界范围内，埃默里大学已成为美国在减少发展中国家疾病和促进健康与福祉方面领先的大学之一。 2004 年，埃默里大学及其附属机构的校外全球卫生资助估计为 1.5 亿美元。认识到埃默里大学在全球卫生领域的巨大资产和潜力，该领域最近被选为 7 个全校范围内的计划之一，通过即将开展的雄心勃勃的资本运动予以支持。这为我们提出的框架计划提供了一个机会，以支持课程活动的发展并促进埃默里大学在这一过渡时期的全球健康之路。在现有优势的基础上，我们的总体目标是促进研究、教学和实践的卓越发展，以促进埃默里大学建立一个有凝聚力的全球健康社区。具体目标如下： a) 让新的研究生和本科生接触全球健康研究。 b) 增加研究生在发展中国家开展实地研究的机会。 c) 加强埃默里大学各单位及其在亚特兰大和世界各地的合作伙伴之间关于全球健康研究、教学和实践的交流。 d) 促进全球健康的创新研究，整合大学及其合作伙伴的各个学科优势，并考虑将研究成果转化为实践。具体活动包括开设新的全球健康本科辅修课程、为全校研究生开发全球健康课程、设计全球健康和人类学博士学位、扩大本科生和研究生的夏季实地研究机会、培育合作网络机构为学生夏季实地研究提供机会，在全校范围内举办全球健康讲座系列和国际研究员研讨会，并创建了“埃默里全球健康”网站。通过这些活动，我们将加强合作，使埃默里大学在全球健康方面的实质性但往往互不相关的举措更加凝聚力，并为大学的全球健康战略重点铺平道路。
