FROM THE CHAIR
2018-19
This year our Global Public Health Initiative continued to experience growth in student and faculty interest in global research. Not only did we have a record number of students go abroad this year, but we also saw a significant increase in the number of students conducting both independent and facultyled research. We awarded 14 collegiate travel grants, including our first to students in the public health undergraduate program. Six additional students received funding from prestigious and competitive external awards, including the Boren Awards and the Fulbright Research Scholarships, both of which are funded by the U.S. Department of State. The Global Public Health Initiative provided funding for two new faculty research projects – one in Colombia looking at the health of infants born to Venezuelan refugees and one examining sociocultural causes of teenage pregnancy in Western Kenya. Both these and other faculty research collaborations opened the door for us to establish two new institutional partnerships this year, with two others in progress. As the result of these partnerships, we have already sent two students overseas to work with collaborators in Australia and Kenya. We will continue to develop these and other partnerships over the next several years.
Karen Goraleski, CEO of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, discussed the positive ripple effects of international experiences when she visited the college earlier this spring as an IIPHRP Global Executive-in-Residence. In her seminar, Ms. Goraleski made the point that America’s health is global health. When we go abroad for research or learning opportunities, the concepts we learn and connections we make do not stay overseas. Everything we internalize from a global experience comes home with us and influences how we continue to interact with our work and our communities. From international experiences, our students and faculty bring back new understanding, ideas, and innovations, and they develop invaluable skills such as selfreflection, problem-solving, and working with diverse groups and communities – all of which are imperative to the field of public health. A well-prepared base of young public health practitioners who are ready to work in diverse and new environments will benefit our state and country’s increasing diversity. Additionally, 45% of the world still lives in rural environments. With the college’s strong track record of work in agricultural safety and health, injury prevention, and health policy, Iowa is well positioned to collaborate with global partners on health issues that affect rural populations around the world. This year has been one of exciting new development for the Global Public Health Initiative and the college as a whole, and I hope you will join me in looking forward to what we have in store in the coming 2019-2020 academic year.

GLOBAL PARTNERS Institutional connections & collaborations
10
As part of the Global Public Health Committee’s five-year strategic plan (developed in 2017), this year we emphasized the development and continuation of long-term institutional partnerships. These partnerships serve a vital purpose for our global efforts, as they provide not only learning and training outlets for our students, but also research opportunities for our faculty and staff. This year, the College of Public Health formed new partnerships with Deakin University in Melbourne, Australia and their National Centre for Farmer Health in Hamilton, Australia, and Tangaza University College in Nairobi, Kenya, with an emphasis on their relationship with the Gynocare Fistula and Women’s Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya. Additionally, we began to explore new methods for engaging our longest standing international partner - the Cluj School of Public Health at Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The Cluj School of Public Health has hosted many Iowa students over the years through the MHIRT program, Fulbright scholarships, and other research opportunities, and will now offer the option of a semester abroad for undergraduate students majoring in public health at Iowa. They have also collaborated with public health faculty on numerous collegiate research grants. This summer, public health faculty and students are visiting all three institutions for research, experiential training, and to help us continue to build these partnerships into longlasting and fruitful collaborations. 11
IN THE CLASSROOM We focused on expanding global content in the curriculum this year - addressing a long-term goal of our five-year strategic plan. With a range of international programs now available in which students can participate, the need to increase awareness about global issues has become even more significant. A comprehensive assessment of the global content in the collegiate curriculum was conducted across all departments and degree programs. This allowed us to assess our current status and identify opportunities for integration of new global content. Two learning competencies, focusing on teaching global ethics and cultural humility, were developed. An extensive collection of resources was compiled to assist faculty with the integration process. These resources remain available for all faculty at cph.uiowa.edu/global-teaching-resources. 2019 also saw new global coursework offerings. Bringing together students from Lebanon, British Columbia, Ecuador, and Iowa, the Global Health Equity course - taught by Drs. Rima Afifi and Paul Gilbert - utilized an innovative technological format to create a truly global classroom. Students can now view all global collegiate coursework online at cph.uiowa.edu/global-courses.
12
ACROSS THE COLLEGE Beyond the classroom, the Global Public Health Initiative worked to provide additional skills-based and diverse global experiences for students to engage with at home. Partnering with the Center for Teaching and Learning, the UI Division of International Programs and the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, we provided skillbased workshops for both faculty and students. These interactive development seminars focused on intercultural understanding, working with case studies, and a multicultural potluck, which was featured on DITV.
The 2nd Annual IIPHRP Global Public Health Case Competition was held on April 3, 2019 in conjunction with Public Health Research Week. This year’s competition focused on mental health and wellness in Lagos, Nigeria, and featured 6 interdisciplinary teams with students from 7 colleges and 14 departments across campus. This year’s winning team focused on an economicbased intervention. The panel of expert judges were Dr. Deb Waldron (American Pediatric Association), Dr. Barry Schreier (University Counseling Services), Mr. Dimy Doresca (Iowa Entrepreneurship Center), and Dr. Amy Weissman (UI Center for Human Rights).

GLOBAL VISITING SCHOLARS Over the 2018-2019 academic year, the Global Public Health Initiative welcomed a number of visiting scholars, executives-in-residence, and public health practitioners working in a variety of global disciplines. In addition to the visitors profiled here, we also welcomed Dr. Ivan Missoni and Dr. Edy Missoni from the University of Zagreb in Croatia, as well as two research trainees sponsored by an NIH Fogarty International Center grant - Elena Gurgis from Nicolae Testemitanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Moldova and Eka Burkadze from Tbilisi State University in Georgia. Both students recieved training through an FIC/NIH capacity-building grant led by Dr. Corinne Peek-Asa. The Global Public Health Initiative also provided support and funding to several interdisciplinary guest speakers across campus, including Dr. Priti Ramamurthy, guest of the Center for South Asian Studies, Dr. Rick Johnston, guest of the Sustainable Water Development Group, and Dr. Phaedra Henley and Mr. Brian Mutebi, guests of the Global Health Studies Program. Each visitor provided outlets for students, faculty, and the greater Iowa City community to learn more about their work in various facets of global health and hosted larger seminars and smaller meetings with interdisciplinary groups from across campus. The ability to invite and learn from guests outside of our college and university remains a vital aspect of education and practice in public health. Each visitor opens up new possibilities for both faculty and students in Iowa, across the U.S., and around the world.

FACULTY RESEARCH The following summaries highlight research and accomplishments of just a few of our collegiate faculty. This is not an inclusive list of all faculty participating in funded global research.
DR. CHRISTINE PETERSEN EPIDEMIOLOGY
Dr. Petersen, who directs the University of Iowa’s Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, is the principal investigator and last author in several studies that follow the immunopathology of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and tick-borne diseases, including Lyme disease (LD) in human patients and a canine natural disease model. She and her team have ongoing studies of dogs infected with visceralizing Leishmania in the US, Brazil, and India and in people in Brazil and Ethiopia. In the past year, Dr. Petersen has worked with research collaborators in Ethiopia to examine how tick-borne diseases may impact the outcome of Leishmania donovani infection in sub-Saharan Africa. She and her team also provided targeted public health interventions and control efforts to combat the spread of disease in these areas.
DR. GEORGE WEHBY Working with partners at the National University of Colombia, Dr. Wehby is currently studying births and migration in Colombia to examine the health status of infants born to Venezuelan parents. The ongoing Venezuelan humanitarian crisis has resulted in waves of migrants and refugees fleeing to other South American countries, including Colombia. This crisis has led to a dramatic declines in population health, especially among children and mothers and including large increases in infant and maternal mortality. Dr. Wehby’s work will shed light on infant and maternal health among Venezuelan refugees and serve as an impetus for a large-scale project involving prospective data collection to evaluate long-term child health outcomes.

HEALTH MANAGEMENT AND POLICY
DR. PAUL ROMITTI EPIDEMIOLOGY
Dr. Romitti is the director of the Iowa Center of Excellence for Birth Defects Research and Prevention (CBDRP). With its most recent grant renewal, the CBDRP, already a research leader in the U.S., has expanded its work beyond U.S. boundaries to work with international partners in Europe and South America. The focus of this work is to create multi-national cohorts working on more systemic studies to ensure higher quality data and consistent methodology. The Iowa CBDRP works to reduce and prevent the occurrence of major structural birth defects. Dr. Romitti was also recently named executive chair of the International Clearinghouse for Birth Defects Surveillance and Research (ICBDSR), a non-profit research organization affiliated with WHO. The ICBDSR currently has members from 36 countries around the world.
DR. EDITH PARKER
Dr. Parker, director of the UI Participatory Research COMMUNITY AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH Center (PRC) and dean of the College of Public Health, traveled to India this year to organize and host an international workshop focused on the use of community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods to reduce the disease burden of environmental exposures. Dr. Parker partnered with Rajesh Tandon, founder and president of Participatory Research in Asia (PRIA) to bring together U.S. and Indian researchers and practitioners with expertise and interest in CBPR methods. Funding for the workshop was provided by the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). In addition to training and discussion of CBPR applications and interventions, Dr. Parker hopes this workshop will help bring together international partnerships for future global collaborative research.
This year, the Global Public Health Initiative provided financial support for two Global Faculty Research Development Grants. Dr. Will Story is spending time in Kenya this summer working with partners at Tangaza University College and Gynocare Women’s and Fistula Hospital examining the sociocultural causes and public health implications of teenage pregnancy in the region. Dr. George Wehby also received a global development award and will use his funding to support the project detailed (left). Public health faculty seeking global development funding should visit cph.uiowa.edu/global-faculty.
COLLABORATION AT HOME The Global Public Health Initiative, while a success in its own right, would not be nearly as productive without the collaboration of various entities and individuals - both on the University of Iowa campus and around the state. Over the past two years, we have worked closely with the Iowa Institute for Public Health Research and Policy (IIPHRP) on a multitude of different ventures, from the Global Public Health Case Competition to bringing in global visiting scholars and executives-in-residence. Outside of the College of Public Health, we have also begun working closely with the Tippie College of Business and the John Pappajohn Entrepreneurship Center. We have worked with Director Dimy Doresca to integrate public health into the curriculum of the Mandela Fellows annual visit to Iowa City and finding overlap with his various projects in Africa and the Caribbean. Additionally, we have provided financial support for interdisciplinary speakers from the Center for South Asian Studies and the Global Health Studies program (GHSP). This past fall, GHSP hosted their annual conference focusing on the right to health, for which the Global Public Health Initiative acted as a sponsor. This conference, which is available for course credit, was cross-listed as CPH credit and saw enrollment from many public health degree students. Beyond campus, the Global Public Health Initiative continues to act as an integral member of the Heartland Global Health Consortium - a global health research organization made up of universities and colleges across the state of Iowa. Throughout the year, public health faculty and students attended and presented their research at a number of international forums, including the Heartland Global Health Conference, Consortium of Universities in Global Health annual conference, and the World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion. We would also like to congratulate College of Public Health faculty member Dr. Kelly Baker on her appointment to the National Academies Board of Global Health, which conducts studies and executes various health-based interventions worldwide. Dr. Baker, who is a faculty member in the Department of Occupational and Environmental Health specializing in water sanitation and hygiene, will serve a three-year term as a reperesentative of her discipline.

THE UPCOMING YEAR In the upcoming 2019-2020 academic year, we hope to bring even more global opportunities, experiences, and insights to the College of Public Health community. We will continue to provide funding for students and faculty to travel, learn, and work abroad and look forward to working more closely with the collegiate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) committee on joint programs where international and domestic diversity topics intersect.
20
We are looking forward to building on new academic relationships already established in Australia and Kenya and exploring other potential partnerships around the world. Next year’s goals will focus on research, emphasizing global opportunities for public health faculty. We look forward to being a part of the development and implementation of the new Iowa Global Health Network, a faculty research network designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration across campus. The 3rd Annual Global Public Health week will be held September 16-20, 2019 and will feature keynote speaker Dr. Iman Nuwayhid from the American University of Beirut in Lebanon. The 3rd Annual IIPHRP Global Public Health Case Competition will also move to the fall semester to better facilitate new research efforts in the college.
