The Global Network convenes leaders from around the world to share, learn, collaborate, and act to advance academic public health. It addresses issues of global concern related to academic public health and provides a venue to strengthen relationships among Network members. Specifically, the Global Network seeks to enrich the conversation and action of its members through multicultural, multinational, and multilateral engagements and partnerships.
The Global Network for Academic Public Health has released this statement on the WHO’s response to COVID-19, with support of the founding associations of the Global Network: Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health (APACPH), Association of Schools of Public Health in Africa (ASPHA), Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER), and ASPPH.
Now, more than ever, it is important to stand together in solidarity globally as an academic public health community to support WHO as “we call on governments to commit to a new era of openness, information sharing and mutual support, to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, and future threats to the health of the world.”
In partnership with This Is Public Health, and with the support of Dr. Richard and Mrs. Linda Riegelman, we are excited to announce the TIPH Global Grant Program for academic public health institutions that are members of a regional association affiliated with the Global Network. This one-year grant program will provide twenty (20) awards of up to US $5,000 to develop TIPH Global campaigns that increase the visibility of public health in a region outside of the United States. The deadline to submit applications is December 20, 2020.
