The Washington Hilton, Washington D.C.
Welcome to the Consortium of Universities for Global Health’s (CUGH) 5th Global Health Conference, which will be held in Washington, DC, May 10-12, 2014 at the Washington Hilton hotel. This year’s theme, Universities 2.0 – Advancing the Global Health Agenda in the Post-MDG Era. It will showcase leading scientific advances in addressing the complex challenges we face.
As the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) come to an end in 2015, we will look at the future of the global health enterprise. The program reflects this environment.
Some of the stellar speakers confirmed include President of the World Bank Jim Kim; former Head of UNAIDS and current Director of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Peter Piot; and Head of the Earth Institute at Columbia University Jeff Sachs. We also will have a special lecture by the winner of the 2014 Gairdner Awards’ Global Health Awardee. The 3-day meeting will provide outstanding opportunities to learn about new scientific advances, participate in practical workshops, network, and develop new partnerships with global health leaders across disciplines.
There will be exhibits and abstract presentations, and workshops. In 2014, we will also have special features on innovation and new technologies.
We hope you will join us May 10 – 12, 2014 to teach and learn, network and build collaborations with peers and colleagues from around the world.

Description:
On
Monday, March 24th, 2014 from 2:00-3:00 pm EDT, we are pleased to have Drs.
Lori Ducharme, Hendricks Brown, and Brian Mittman join us in follow up to the
6th NIH Meeting on Dissemination and Implementation Research in Health: A
Working Meeting on Design. Drs. Ducharme, Brown, and Mittman will present
some of the key concepts discussed at the meeting and next steps. Central to
their discussion are the key issues for study design for implementation science
and what work and opportunities remain ahead.
The
session will include approximately 35 minutes of discussion from our speakers
and 25 minutes for engaged discussion and Q&A with the audience. Below are
references that will provide good background and foundational knowledge for
this topic – please review the article and come with your questions and thoughts
for discussion. Please note, that although this webinar is hosted by the

In addition, to be eligible, participants must meet all of the following criteria:
• Hold a doctoral degree (PhD, ScD, MD, DrPH, DO, DVM, DNSc, DrPH, etc.).
• Have demonstrated experience and expertise in health science (e.g., medicine, behavioral medicine, nursing, medical anthropology, health economics, public health, health policy).
• Have a feasible D&I research concept to bring to the institute and develop throughout the week. This should be a project the applicant is seriously interested in conducting and/or submitting for funding.
• Federal employees are not eligible with the exception of individuals whose position allows them to receive grants and function as independent researchers (e.g., VA research investigators).
• Be willing and able to pay your own travel expenses (round trip airfare, ground transportation, and some meals) and attend the entire training 5-day institute, if accepted.

Description:
This training is designed for investigators at any career stage interested in conducting Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) research. To be eligible, participants must NOT have current R18, R01 or R01-equivalent funding as a principal investigator for D&I research or received such funding in the in the past five year(s). Preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate experience with, or potential for, working effectively in transdisciplinary teams and who have strong partnerships with—or are embedded within—healthcare delivery, public health or community-based networks. We seek a balance of both junior and senior investigators, with the overall goal of bringing new people into the field of D&I research. While we anticipate most participants will be early to mid-career individuals, we will enroll a limited number of senior researchers who are making the switch to D&I research.
In addition, to be eligible, participants must meet all of the following criteria:
• Have demonstrated experience and expertise in health science (e.g., medicine, behavioral medicine, nursing, medical anthropology, health economics, public health, health policy).
• Have a feasible D&I research concept to bring to the institute and develop throughout the week. This should be a project the applicant is seriously interested in conducting and/or submitting for funding.
• Federal employees are not eligible with the exception of individuals whose position allows them to receive grants and function as independent researchers (e.g., VA research investigators).
• Be willing and able to pay your own travel expenses (round trip airfare, ground transportation, and some meals) and attend the entire training 5-day institute, if accepted.
