Global health projects at UNC

Below are links to some of the websites for global health research, teaching and practice projects and centers undertaken by UNC faculty and staff. These projects are directed by faculty from public health (nutrition, environmental sciences, maternal and child health, epidemiology), medicine, geography, anthropology, public policy, and sociology. Note that not all of the global health projects at UNC have websites so this list is not exhaustive of all global health projects at UNC.
