Partnerships
The UNMC Center for Global Health and Development in the College of Public Health is working to partner with overseas institutions to create global learning experiences for our students and to implement community, laboratory, and hospital-based research activities. These partnerships strengthen our way of connecting students, communities, and people around the world. Through global partnerships, we share, educate, and become connected.
We are also working to facilitate partnerships between stakeholders from both the public and private sectors and support the development of appropriate and responsive services, products, and technologies. Discussion and dialogues between partners, competitive grants programs, and synergizing collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors together with the academic and research communities are a priority for us to accomplish our mission.
