Global Health
The Global Health area of emphasis (AOE) strives to improve child health outcomes through innovative, multidisciplinary research, scholarship, and training. Our goal is to strengthen and expand our global network of researchers who work collaboratively to develop projects and programs that are regionally relevant, locally driven and prioritize pediatric global health equity. The Global Health AOE welcomes all areas that have a direct or indirect impact on child health and well-being.
Developing areas of research for the AOE include:
- Infectious disease
- Vaccine preventable illness, vaccine development and deployment
- Maternal child health
- Policy and population health
- Early childhood development and education
- Food security and nutrition
- Water, sanitation, and hygiene
- Vector-borne diseases
- Disaster management
- Child and adolescent mental health
- US based vulnerable population projects
- Cardiology/heart Disease
