    DRAFT WHITE PAPER Global/International Research Involvement and Strategies July 23, 2014 Committee: Linda B. Cottler, PhD, MPH (Chair-PHHP/COM) Maureen Goodenow, PhD (COM) * Jorge Hernandez, PhD, DVM, MPVM (CVM) Jane Houston, DNP, CNM, RN (CON) * Michael Lauzardo, MD, MSc (COM) Sven Normann, PharmD (COP) * Scott Tomar, DMD, DrPH, MPH (COD) * Members of UFIC Global Health Council DRAFT Executive Summary This White Paper was developed to allow advisors/consultants from all six Health Science Center (HSC) Colleges to explore issues about and make recommendations related to research in the area of international/global health. We addressed these questions: 1. Why is it important to focus on international health? (Introduction/Aims) 2. Where is UF currently in the international/global research realm? (Findings/review) 3. What priority areas should be addressed in the next 5 to 10 years? (Findings/review) 4. Who are the key partners and competitors in this area? (Findings/review) 5. What processes/infrastructure do we need in order to be successful? What should be supported? (Recommendations) The White Paper noted many strengths connected to global health research and many areas that can be stimulated through global health research, including financial, contributions to national security, increased partnerships, transformations in university culture, reductions in barriers around the globe, social justice, competitiveness for scarce resources, academic success, opportunities for philanthropic donations and ability for research in global health to stimulate additional research in other areas of science. The research, education and service missions of the six HSC Colleges were highlighted. While there is considerable international work documented, we feel that this is just the tip of the iceberg since the entire repertoire of activities could not be discovered with the available databases.
