Global Health Research

UNC NPM has supported fellows doing scholarly activities in global health since 2010. Three of our faculty members (Drs. Bose, Bauserman and Patterson) specialize in global health research with research foci in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Ethiopia, and Nicaragua. These researchers have experience in a wide variety of global health projects from epidemiology to discovery research to randomized control trials and implementation research.

Our faculty have led the UNC-Kinshasa School of Public Health (Democratic Republic of Congo) Partnership for more than 15 years. Together with KSPH, we are members of the NICHD Global Network for Women’s and Children’s Health Research. Through this network of 8 sites in low and low-middle income countries, we research interventions to improve the lives of mothers and infants. Fellows interested in global health also benefit from collaborations and educational resources in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, the top public school of public health in the country. Many fellows within an interest in global health, also chose to obtain an MPH as part of their training.
