[GlobalHealth] New global health grant and other news

[Bobbi Nodell]

Dear All,

The NIH announced yesterday that it is spending $20m to train global health researchers from many disciplines and UW is the lead for one of five consortiums.
UW Today story:<http://www.washington.edu/news/articles/uw-leads-nih-funded-consortium-to-train-global-health-researchers>
"The UW is the leader of a consortium, including University of Hawaii, University of Michigan and University of Minnesota that will receive about $4 million over five years to support the training activities of fellows.
Joseph Zunt, assistant professor in global health and the principal investigator for the UW-led consortium, said the grant will provide new opportunities for training 12-15 U.S. and international doctoral students and post-doctoral trainees each year in international settings.
"The fellows will have outstanding binational mentoring," he said.
Application deadline is May 14. Please go to This Week in Global Health/Funding Opportunities<http://globalhealth.washington.edu/this-week> for the application and flyer.

Also:
*       We just posted a new funding announcement for undergraduates, graduates, and medical students on a tropical disease program in Ecuador. Deadline is April 15.
*       And we extended the deadline for ordering Dept. of Global T-shirts until April 11.
*       And be sure to register for the Western Regional International Health Conference. Lots of great panels. The global health reporting students have started a conference blog<http://depts.washington.edu/hjourn/> so check back for more stories.
