MSM’s Global Health Learners Experience

Overview & Background

Morehouse School of Medicine’s Office of Global Health Equity (OGHE) is pleased to announce an exciting funding opportunity to support global health learning experiences. Eligible learners include MSM students, faculty, staff, fellows, and residents. This opportunity is aligned with the OGHE’s aims to address health disparities by working to ensure emerging health leaders trained at MSM are equipped to effectively advance global health equity.  It also serves to support the OGHE’s overarching goal of promoting health equity in resource-constrained settings through strategic partnerships and by strengthening capacity to address global health and development challenges.

The OGHE is soliciting applications for mentored research, service, clinical, and educational global activities in resource constraint settings. Applicants should develop projects that target areas of need in consultation with in-country collaborators. Possible areas include:

• Access to care issues
  • Examining social determinants (e.g., housing, poverty, education, etc.) that influence access to health care
  • Health systems issues (e.g., health workforce, health facilities, health policies, health finance, etc.)
• Communicable Diseases (e.g., malaria, HIV/AIDS, etc.)
• Non-communicable Diseases (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and other chronic illnesses)
• Global mental health (e.g., trauma, substance use/abuse, depression, etc.)
  • Disaster mental health
• Immigrant/refugee health
• Community engagement
