CUGH recognizes the importance of collaborative, multidisciplinary research in academic global health. The Research Committee’s goal is to catalyze avenues for expanding collaborative, cross-cutting global health research and research training in priority areas, facilitate development of these collaborations among CUGH members, and facilitate dissemination of research for implementation. The Committee is dedicated to sharing, evaluating, and advancing strategies that promote global health research, global health equity, community-engaged approaches, and service. Additionally, the Committee is charged with assisting in reinforcing relationships with funding agencies and organizations. Current priority areas include Artificial Intelligence, Implementation Science and Capacity-Building for research in resource-limited settings. Past initiatives addressed anti-science views in society and research on climate change and health.
