About Us
Our Mission
Global Programs for Research & Training supports the University of California, San Francisco’s (UCSF) mission of advancing health worldwide by leading research and training initiatives locally in countries that increase access to high-quality, equitable healthcare. Global health requires a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach integrating research, policy, and practice.
We are committed to strengthening the capacity of communities to address their health challenges and advocating for policies that promote health equity and social justice.
How We Work
Global Programs acts on behalf of the University of California to provide direct implementation support for clinical and public health research and training activities. Global Programs allows UCSF to act as a more equitable partner by implementing locally alongside the communities that participate and benefit from the research. By hiring experienced local staff, Global Programs also builds local capacity and can catalyze initiating and maintaining partnerships with local institutions.
Where We Work
Global Programs has active offices in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda with staff who have expertise in surveillance, epidemiology, monitoring and evaluation, training, capacity building, and health informatics.
Historically, Global Programs has also had a local presence and implemented health science research and training activities in Mozambique, Namibia, and South Africa.
