Scott Barrett, Director The Global Health and Foreign Policy Initiative (GHFPI) works to bridge the divide between global health efforts and the economic, political and national security context in which policy in this area is formulated and implemented. Through a new curriculum, debate, discussion, internships, and fellowships, we aim to train future leaders to understand the nexus between international affairs and global health. Through research, seminars, visiting scholars, and publications, the GHFPI seeks to improve global health policymaking. Founded in late 2006 with generous support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the GHFPI is based within the International Policy Program at SAIS. We work closely with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health (JHSPH) and offer fellowships for students pursuing a joint degree between JHSPH and SAIS. SAIS International Policy students interested in global health also benefit from paid summer internships in global health, PhD fellowships, interactions with visiting scholars, the Global Health and Foreign Policy Seminar Series, and GHFPI research on critical questions facing US and international efforts to improve global health. These activities support our ambition to become the leading center of research and training in the emerging field of global health and international affairs. *Banner photo courtesy of Howard Korn
