Since its inception, UCGHI has brought together the best and the brightest across the UC system in multi-campus Centers to address complex global health issues. Each Center develops and leads UC-wide educational programs, targeted collaborative research, and sustainable international partnerships to improve health globally and in California.
UCGHI funds each Center for up to three years with the goal that the Center's work will become well known and externally funded.
Each Center conducts significant research that produces high impact and transformational results to address a timely major global health theme or issue. They develop multidisciplinary signature projects that include community engagement and research and/or education/training of undergraduates, graduate or professional students and/or postdoctoral scholars.
