Colleagues, I received this note from Marian McCord, our university's leader of global health initiatives. I know that some of you are working in this domain, and encourage you to get involved as outlined below.
Dear Friend of NCSU Global Health,
Can you identify a global health need that requires a multidisciplinary solution? Are you interested in mentoring a real world student project? NCSU’s Global Health Initiatives wants to know about it!
Please see the announcement below which can also be seen here. Student projects, in conjunction with or independent of a class/course, serve the dual purpose of fostering student awareness and learning, and generating useful ideas and solutions.
If you have concerned about intellectual property ownership, here is a link to information regarding NCSU’s Academic Course Design Project agreement: Academic Course Design Agreement. This agreement may or may not apply to your project!!
If you are a faculty member, and are interested in working on a global health project within your course (or already plan to do so), please contact me at mmccord@ncsu.edu .
We look forward to hearing from you. Also, please feel free to forward this email to others within your organization, or outside, who may be interested.
Sincerely,
Marian McCord
GLOBAL HEALTH PROJECT SOLICITATION
Global Health Initiatives at NCSU is creating a project resource file for faculty and students to use as course or individual design projects, service, or research. The purpose of this solicitation is to find advocates who wish to identify specific global health problems to be included in this file. It is anticipated that many of these problems will require multi-disciplinary approaches that use innovative technology. The projects will be distributed broadly to the NCSU community and beyond (with your permission).
If you have an idea to share, please provide us with an abstract summary of the issue you identify and the communities that will benefit from your proposed resolution. A list of partners, stakeholders, and other resources is also necessary. To view full list of required information, please COMPLETE THE APPLICATION.
