Colleagues,
As reported in San Francisco Business Times...The University of California said Tuesday it got a $4 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to support planning for a potential systemwide UC School of Global Health.
The proposed school, which the university envisions as training new leaders to help tackle global health issues, would be UC’s first multicampus, systemwide school, the university said.
Efforts to launch the new UC global health school are being led, at least initially, by experts at UC San Francisco, including former UCSF Medical School Dean and former campus chancellor Haile Debas, M.D., now executive director of UCSF Global Health Sciences, and Sir Richard Feachem, a professor of global health at UCSF and UC Berkeley. Feachem was previously executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Officials said the two-year grant of nearly $3.99 million will fund final planning efforts for the proposed global health school, “which is expected to seek UC Regents’ approval in 2010 and officially enroll students in summer 2011.”
