FORMER STAR PARTNERSHIPS

Consortium of Universities for Global Health

The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH), was established in 2008 with generous funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and The Rockefeller Foundation. CUGH members currently include over 170 academic institutions and other organizations. CUGH, in partnership with STAR, implemented the Collaboration Laboratory (CoLab). The CoLab recruited pairs of academic institutions to develop, test and codify best practices for successful, sustainable partnerships.

Johns Hopkins University (JHU)

JHU is the world’s largest school of public health, with 670 full-time and 709 part-time faculty devoted to advancing global knowledge and understanding of public health through research, teaching and service. To maximize learning opportunities for STAR Fellows and Interns, JHU facilitated academic support, training, adjunct lecture opportunities, and mentoring opportunities to equip tomorrow’s global health practitioners with knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed for success.

Sustaining Technical and Analytic Resources (STAR) is a project of the Public Health Institute Implemented in partnership with University of California, San Francisco.
