Global Health Research
The Center for Global Health promotes and supports research activities at partner sites in low- and middle-income countries as well as in the Chicago south- and westside communities that form the University of Chicago Medicine's catchment area.
As part of a major research university, the Center encourages faculty and student research that advances the field of global health and leverages the University of Chicago’s institutional strengths, with an emphasis on the following areas: health, environment, and vulnerable populations; women's and children's health; genomics and chronic, non-communicable diseases across the lifespan; and urban health services and systems delivery.

Partner Sites
For our partner sites, CGH facilitates exchange opportunities for visiting students, faculty, and trainees to participate in research, education and training. These exchange opportunities are reciprocal and year-round, allowing for robust relationships to develop for the benefit of global health education, and engagement.
