The Global Health Fellows Program (GHFP-II) is a five year cooperative agreement implemented and managed by the Public Health Institute in partnership with CDC Development Solutions and Management Systems International. GHFP-II is supported by the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
GHFP-II’s goal is to improve the effectiveness of USAID health programs by addressing the Agency’s immediate and emerging human capacity needs. The program seeks to accomplish this goal first through the recruitment, placement and support of diverse health professionals at the junior, mid and senior levels. These program participants include fellows, interns, corporate volunteers and Foreign Service National professionals.

BACKGROUND:
The US President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is the US Government (USG) initiative to help save the lives of those suffering from HIV/AIDS around the world. This historic commitment is the largest by any nation to combat a single disease internationally, and PEPFAR investments are also designed to have an impact on the alleviation of suffering from other diseases across the global health spectrum. PEPFAR is driven by a shared responsibility among donor and partner nations and others in an effort to save lives by making smart investments.
PEPFAR is the cornerstone and largest component of the US President’s Global Health Initiative. With a special focus on improving the health of women, newborns and children, the Global Health Initiative’s goal is to save the greatest number of lives by increasing and building upon what works and, then, supporting countries as they work to improve the health of their own people.
More than 1.4 million Tanzanians are estimated to be living with the disease. Since 2004, PEPFAR has supported the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania in the areas of HIV and AIDS care and treatment, prevention, impact mitigation, and health systems strengthening. To date, Tanzania has received more than $2.2 billion from the US Government in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Dance for Health’s initiative on the BU Medical Campus. Be a part of the action!
A student at BU's School of Medicine is starting an organization called Dance for Health (DFH), which aims to promote health by having BU graduate students teach dance classes to older adults in Boston.
Despite being a small percentage of the total population, the elderly account for one-third of hospitalizations and 43.6% of money spent on healthcare in America. Through these dance classes, DFH seeks to encourage the physical, social, and mental well-being of seniors to help them maintain independent lifestyles as they age.
Dance for Health is looking to recruit students from the BU medical campus to join the organization. Students would teach a one-hour class per week for six consecutive weeks at a local Boston community center. They hope that their organization will enable students to establish relationships with older adults in the Boston community as well as promote intercampus community building.
If you have interest in joining this effort, please take this fill out this brief survey:
Can you write in Haitian Creole and/or Portugese? Help needed by this Saturday, May 11th with a brief translation!
Are you able to write in Haitian Creole or Portugese? A translation of the below text in these two languages is needed by THIS SATURDAY, MAY 11th. It will be used to communicate safe gardening practices in urban gardens (lead concerns), as part of a soil testing/consultation event BU is offering at the City Farm Fest (see above flyer).
Interested students should contact Ashley Miller at akmiller@bu.edu.
Please translate this - or a slight modification of it:
"Good Gardening Practices:
The following guidelines will help protect you from lead (Pb), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and other contaminants commonly found in urban soil:
When Designing & Building Your Garden:
· Select a garden space that is not right next to your house (avoid the “drip line” along the edge of your home)
· If you do not know the lead level of the soil where you’re gardening, test it
· If you want to garden without testing soil, build a raised bed with a barrier of landscape fabric between the ground and fill with GOOD/CLEAN soil
· Don’t use railroad ties or pressure treated (CCA) wood for bed dividers
Once Your Garden Is Built:
· Wear gloves while gardening
· Wash hands after gardening and before eating
· Wash root and leafy vegetables before eating
· Change gardening shoes before entering home (don’t track dirt indoors)
· Don’t let children eat soil
· Add compost or other organic matter to soil every year (or more often)
· Till soil only to a depth of 6 – 8 inches
· Avoid deep digging or double digging
· Use mulch on bare soil to lessen splashing soil onto plants
· Work in garden soil only when it is moist (not dry and dusty)
GOOD/CLEAN means that lead and nutrients have been measured and lead levels are less than 150 ppm."

Course Evaluations: Your Feedback is Crucial!
Course Evaluations: Your Feedback is Crucial!
Your feedback is crucial to help faculty improve their courses and to help other students plan their schedules. You’ve been sent an email invitation to submit anonymous evaluations of your courses. Please fill them out and share your thoughts with us. We want to hear from you!
The evaluation period is open until May 6. You will receive an email reminder every other day until all of your course evaluations are completed. Once evaluations are closed you will be unable to submit an evaluation.
Please contact Vanessa Edouard at vbe@bu.edu with questions.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Student Course Evaluations
Q: Are the course evaluations really anonymous?
A: Yes, the faculty see the same compiled report that you are able to see.
Q: Where can I see the results of course evaluations?
A: There is a link to the compiled results of course evaluations on the Student Insider (http://sph.bu.edu/studentinsider/).
Q: How does the course evaluation system really work?
A: We compile a list of email addresses for every student in each of the courses. These email addresses are programmed into the evaluation system, which is what prompts the system to send the reminder emails. Once the evaluation period closes, all of the email addresses are automatically deleted from the system in order to maintain anonymity.
Q: How is my course evaluation feedback used?
A: The primary reason we collect course evaluations is to better understand what is happening in the classroom. The faculty use course evaluation data as guidance as they revise their courses for the next time they are offered. Your written responses are extremely helpful in this process.
