GHI Mission

The Global Health Initiative (GHI) at Boston University Promotes Multi-Disciplinary Research, Education, Outreach and Policy Studies Across and Beyond the Boston University Community. GHI’s Goal is to Reduce Disparities in Health by Supporting the Generation and Application of Knowledge, Fostering "Global Literacy” Among our Students, and Developing Partnerships with International Health and Science Leaders, Scholars, and Practitioners around the World.

For Boston University Faculty

. . . Connecting, Collaborating, Making a Difference

A major goal of the Global Health Initiative is to stimulate collaboration between and among Boston University faculty at the Charles River and Medical campuses, and to aid and support their efforts to develop joint research programs in global health that would be competitive for outside funding. One tool available to faculty to support this goal is the BU-BMC Research Resources website developed by the Office of the Associate Provost for Research at the BU Medical campus. Click here to access the database: http://researchresources.bumc.bu.edu/. You can search by research topic, investigator, funding agency (federal, foundation, corporate, etc), equipment and/or technique. You can also search for individuals who have self-identified as having an interest in a particular topic.

If you are interested in becoming involved with the Global Health Initiative, or to discuss ideas for interdisciplinary research projects in global health, please contact Gerald Keusch, Director, keusch@bu.edu, or Constance Cramer, Deputy Director, ccramer@bu.edu.
