Carolina Public Health Solutions

The UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health has received a $50 million gift from Dennis and Joan Gillings, providing our School with critical resources to accelerate delivery of real-world solutions for some of humankind's most challenging public health problems. 

Through funded programs called Gillings Innovation Laboratories (GILs), faculty at the School engage in high-impact research, demonstration projects and teaching practice that focus on solving big public health problems, such as lack of access to clean water and health care, epidemics around the world, and obesity.  Funds from the gift are also being applied to other programs, including Gillings Visiting Professorships (GVPs), the Prize for Public Health Impact and Curricular Innovations.
