Behind every triumph is motive, the incentive that drives heroism, builds cities, and saves the lives of children in far-flung places. Maryland faculty, active in 23 developing countries across six continents, share a common in- centive—to fight the catastrophic diseases affecting the most impoverished people in the world. Their combined track record of success places them among the first and foremost of those responding to the call of global medi- cine. Theirs is the kind of success that is powered by deep, personal concern that their work will make a difference. They cheerfully tackle stifling heat, Mon- soon rain, and distance from family, and talk instead of camaraderie among colleagues and the satisfaction of being part of the team. Physicians and health care professionals at the institute of human virology (IHV) battle against AIDS in seven African and two Caribbean countries, where the university’s PEPFAR funding (the President’s Emer- gency Plan for AIDS Relief) recently exceeded $100 million in support of research, clinical care, and training of medical health care providers. On another part of the medical school campus, the center for vaccine development (CVD) was founded in 1974 (long before the phrase “global health” was coined), and has since expanded its presence throughout the world, developing and testing vaccines against devastating diseases worldwide. Myron M. Levine, MD, the Simon and Bessie Grollman Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Pediatrics, and Epidemiology & Public Health, and Microbiology & Immunology, who heads the CVD, reports on a recent historic initiative—the Global Enterics Multi-Center Study (GEMS)— targeting severe and moderately severe diarrhea, one of the two top causes of death (along with pneumonia) among young children in developing By Rita M. Rooney countries. “The study is conducted in seven sites in Africa and Asia.” Levine says. Karen Kotloff, MD, and Myron M.
