Global health at Vanderbilt is a collaborative endeavor, leveraging relationships among faculty, partners, staff, and communities to enhance health and wellbeing for underserved populations at home and abroad. Our programs are designed to develop and strengthen scientific leadership and expertise needed for research in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Vanderbilt scientists have interdisciplinary projects in the Americas, Asia, and Africa rooted in a collective approach to addressing complex global health challenges. We have over 125 faculty members with appointments spanning eight Vanderbilt schools and colleges. Operating as an institute without walls, VIGH collaborates with Vanderbilt experts and international partners to educate and train the next generation of global health leaders. VIGH empowers researchers working in LMICs to address critical health challenges and contribute to the global body of scientific knowledge.
