A small but mighty team, the Global Health Institute (GHI) has created a unique platform that strategically links multidisciplinary talent and expertise from UW–Madison with global partners in academia, industry, governments, and NGOs. GHI’s holistic, One Health-based approach leverages the expertise of the UW’s 21 schools and colleges, and is essential to translating both medical discoveries and innovative social science approaches into tangibly healthier lives for Wisconsinites and people and communities around the world.
Our five focus areas — emerging and infectious diseases; climate and land use change; resource security, including food, water, and energy; social, cultural, and economic equity; and human, animal, and plant health — capture a comprehensive view of health both locally and globally.
Over the last three years, GHI has successfully implemented its strategic vision to establish and grow a robust network of One Health Centers (OHC) and projects in Colombia, India, Mexico, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and South Africa. Our OHC network offers researchers and students from across UW–Madison access to transdisciplinary partnerships, knowledge sharing, innovation, and local-to-global capacity building.
Your investment in GHI advances UW–Madison’s renowned research opportunities, adding new knowledge and technology exchanges, joint funding opportunities, and the implementation of effective global health interventions.
With your support, we are building a safer, healthier, and more just world for all. We are grateful to our partners, like you, who enable GHI to achieve new heights. On, Wisconsin!
