University Collaborations
Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design
The Johns Hopkins Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID), in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, is the perfect marriage between engineering, medicine, and public health. Using their world-renowned strengths in biomedical engineering and medicine, the center develops high impact new solutions for major challenges to human health around the world. Together, CBID and ICMNH faculty and students have embarked upon projects to design solutions to some of the most pressing issues in the health of women and neonates, including timely detection of preeclampsia during pregnancy, improved recognition of neonatal hypothermia (excessive loss of body heat), and developing low-cost monitoring devices for sick neonates.
Global Health Interest Group at the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing
The Global Health Interest Group (GHIG) at the School of Nursing brings together globally active and interested students to enhance knowledge and education surrounding global health issues. Through inter-professional collaboration with ICMNH, School of Public Health and School of Medicine, we promote these initiatives by bringing in internationally active speakers, offering networking opportunities to those interested in local and global health issues, and participating in international field placements and volunteer opportunities. Together we continue to work towards educating and enlightening future global health providers, educators, and activists to continue to work towards the betterment of maternal, neonatal, and child health outcomes.
Center for Global Digital Health Innovation
The Center for Global Digital Health Innovation aims to ameliorate access to health care, improve health outcomes, and advance health equity through context-appropriate and evidenced-based digitization. The Center brings together faculty from schools across the Johns Hopkins University to foster interdisciplinary collaborations to support governments, donors, and development agencies globally in strengthening health services through digitization. As one of the first academic centers for digital health, CGDHI, formerly known as the Johns Hopkins University Global mHealth Initiative (JHU-GmI), has been instrumental in advancing the field of digital health. Through collaborations with norm-setting bodies such as the World Health Organization, CGDHI has helped co-create guidance on digital health innovations and has played an important role in the development, implementation, and evaluation of scaled digital programs globally.
JHSPH Center for Human Nutrition
The Center for Human Nutrition’s goal is to conduct research, teach and train tomorrow’s nutrition leaders, and advocate evidenced approaches to improve nutrition throughout life. Our view is global, our actions are in context. The Center was created to leverage opportunities for nutrition research across departments and centers of the Bloomberg School of Public Health, Schools of Medicine, and the nearby US Department of Agriculture facilities in Beltsville, Maryland.
