This three-year grant of $399,850 supports PUHSC’s new Department of Global Health in the School of Public Health to develop the field of global health in China through training, research, forums, and consortium development. A major aspect of this program is the support of young Chinese to engage with global health through training at annual World Health Assemblies. Research will focus on China-Africa relations and help the government craft a national policy statement on global health. The program will also support PUHSC's bringing together of interested medical universities into a consortium.
