What is UM-GHRT?
The University of Michigan Global Health Research and Training Initiative (UM-GHRT) completed its program in July of 2009. It was a university-wide framework to strengthen and expand opportunities for innovative multidisciplinary global health research and scholarship. Building on existing educational programs, international research collaborations, and the infrastructure of the University of Michigan’s five NIH/Fogarty International Center sponsored research training programs, the UM-GHRT supported undergraduates, graduate students and faculty to work on health needs of low-and middle-income countries and on problems of a global nature.
UM-GHRT was funded by the University of Michigan Office of the Provost and of the Vice President for Research, the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, and the Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health.
