Carolina Public Health Solutions
Anticipate. Accelerate.  

In February 2007, Dennis and Joan Gillings provided the UNC School of Public Health with significant resources to accelerate public health solutions across North Carolina and around the world.  The Carolina Public Health Solutions office serves as the programmatic arm of the initiatives created to achieve scale and have even greater public health impact.

 

Gillings Innovation Labs (GILs)

Enables teams of investigators to focus concentrated efforts on solving critical public health problems, such as obesity, lack of access to clean water and health care, and epidemics around the world. For more information, visit Gillings Innovation Labs.  

Gillings Visiting Professorships (GVPs)

Enhances the School’s intellectual climate by creating a dynamism of ideas and exposing faculty, staff, and students to alternative ways of thinking, new methodologies, and different perspectives about disciplines. The School will invite leading public health experts from think tanks, businesses, NGOs and academic institutions across North Carolina and around the world to serve as part of our innovation teams for a year or two. Additionally, our faculty also have the opportunity to take working sabbaticals in organizations around the world and bring new knowledge to the School from which we can all learn and grow. For more information, visit Gillings Visiting Professorships.
