From UCR
The folks out in Riverside will join with their UC colleagues in Davis to launch one of three specialty centers in a new systemwide Global Health Institute, with the two-campus focus on reducing the rate of death and disease from malnutrition, unsafe water and animal- and vector-borne illnesses with health interventions from the national to household level. First the program hopes to enroll and grant master's degrees and later doctorates. Global health, research says, has a $75 billion impact on California, including $49.5 billion in revenue generated by private companies in the area and the $8 billion in tax revenues they generate to state coffers. Besdies the UCR-Davis center on One Health: Water, Food, Animals and Society, UCLA will partner with UCSF in a center to focus on women's health and empowerment; UCSD and UCD will run the center on migration and health.
