Global Health AI Collaborative Network (GAIN)
GAIN is a transdisciplinary platform launched following a recent AI and technology global health symposium.
GAIN aims to connect people, data, and ideas at the intersection of artificial intelligence and global health across countries and regions. The network prioritizes ethical and equitable AI use, promotes global co-leadership, and focuses on developing implementation-ready solutions that are contextually relevant and sustainable. By reducing fragmentation in AI development and collaboration, GAIN aims to improve health outcomes.
Global Health Faculty Recruitment and Retention Support Funds
The Global Health Faculty Recruitment and Retention Program at MHIGH is intended to augment recruitment and retention packages for outstanding, highly funded, or promising faculty ranked at the Assistant Professor level or higher. In partnership with Heersink School of Medicine (HSOM) Departments, Centers, Institutes, and Divisions, these funds are intended to foster growth, innovation, and impact, as assessed proximally by increased extramural or other funding to UAB and by an increase in employees who are supported, in part or whole, by extramural resources. A specific goal of these resources is to increase the number of faculty engaged in funded global health across missions.
Global Health Travel Awards
The goal of the MHIGH Global Health Travel Awards Program is to support transformative global health experiences in research, education, and service, for undergraduate and graduate students, residents, fellows, and faculty. The Program provides funds for experiences around the world while fostering meaningful international engagement in the United States.
