This grant supplements an earlier commitment (09-983) to Sichuan University in developing a center that focuses on studying health challenges and policy of rural China. It supports development capacity of a cohort of next generation researchers in the field of Health Policy and System Sciences (HPSS) through training and landscaping research.

This project creates a China Burden of Disease Research and Dissemination Center (CBDRDC) based at Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) in collaboration with the University of Washington and Queensland University.

This project assembles a multidisciplinary team of biomedical scientists, epidemiologists, and health economists to address modifiable risk factors associated with obesity-related chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

This project will create a PKU-CMB Lab for Health Economics (LHE), which will produce rigorous economic research for better health policymaking and help train the next generation of Chinese health economists. In policy-related research, the LHE will focus on research related to the national priorities as indicated in the 12th five-year Health Reform Plan, specifically: the universal insurance system, national drug policy, and public hospital reform. The LHE will also produce a cadre of young Chinese health economists by providing researchers with access to high-quality data, new research opportunities, and mentorship from Chinese and international researchers.

This three-year project supports the institutional development of the SYSU Center of Migrant Health Policy, primarily through strengthening its leadership and young faculty capacity and supporting research projects.

This two-year grant at $1,135,370 enables the Institute of International Education (IIE) to offer two more rounds of CMB mid-career Faculty Development (FD) awards and Next Generation (NG) fellowships. Thus far, CMB has supported 26 distinguished professorships, 34 faculty development awards, and 42 next generation fellows.

This project utilizes an ongoing Dongfeng-Tongji longitudinal cohort to study the determinants of chronic diseases, especially air pollution and lifestyle factors.
