Funded Programs

Program in Globalization, Global Migration, and Health

The Emory Global Health Institute provided seed funding to establish a research program that addresses the impact that globalization and global migration have on the health of specific populations. The program focuses on globalization’s and global migration’s effect on the cardio-metabolic risk factors of targeted immigrant populations within the United States. Seed funding was used to develop and implement a scientific workshop, publish the proceedings of this workshop, and publish a literature review on the current state of research regarding the cardio-metabolic risk factors of the United States’ culturally and ethnically diverse population. Additionally, Emory researchers used these seed funds to establish a network of global collaborators as well as develop a plan to secure external funding that will sustain the research program.
