Emory Global Health Institute

The Emory Global Health Institute was established in September 2006 as part of Emory University’s 2005-2015 strategic plan. Founding the EGHI was a natural evolution for Emory University as it builds on a strong foundation in global health research, training, and scholarship that was laid by the Emory University School of Medicine, the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, the Rollins School of Public Health, the Emory Vaccine Center, and other schools and departments such as anthropology, area studies, biology, chemistry, and theology. The primary goals of the Emory Global Health Institute are to: - Develop a strong academic infrastructure in global health at Emory University, - Develop and nurture global health partnerships, - Foster global health research and scholarship, and - Help train the next generation of global health leaders. To meet our goals, EGHI supports a variety of programs that assist faculty members and students across Emory University address global health problems. We support Emory faculty researching a variety of global health issues and connect faculty with potential global health programmatic and funding partners. We provide innovative, multidisciplinary global health learning opportunities to Emory students. We bring global health experts to Emory to share their knowledge and expertise with the Emory community.
