- Our History | NC Global Health
Our Story Our Origin Story Before 2009, professionals and leaders in North Carolina would see each other at events, including dinners and receptions. They would say, "you know, we have so much in common." This included many shared interests and a commitment to global health, whether in North Carolina or across the globe. "We should do something together," they'd proclaim. But then they'd go home. And when they saw each other again, they'd have the same conversation and come to the same conclusion. ‘We should do something - together ." In 2009, they finally did. Leaders at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Duke University, North Carolina State University, North Carolina Biotechnology Center, FHI 360, IntraHealth International, and RTI International founded what was then known as the Triangle Global Health Consortium, which has now grown and become the North Carolina Global Health Alliance. The evolution of the Alliance hasn't changed its goal to be a successful convener, amplifier, and advocate for global health in the state and abroad, carrying out its mission through collaborative events, networking, and career development. But it's that original spirit that moved us, that recurring after-dinner conversation of "let’s do something together." That's the real tie that binds us together and keeps us moving forward into the future. Join Us! Serving Our Members We help people and groups discover and create the connections they would have otherwise not established. The Alliance is the source for: Partnering for growing business. Through our technical sharing and networking events, we aid organizations in forging alliances for global health innovation to win new projects or bring in new revenue through global initiatives. Access to specialists. Through our knowledge-sharing offerings, forums, and networking events, we help connect people who have specialized expertise to organizations, individuals, and projects with corresponding needs. Access to new talent. By connecting our organizations and their staff and students, we put the Triangle’s exceptional talent to use regionally and globally. We also help prepare the next generation of global health leaders. Access to global health best practices. Through our knowledge sharing and technical events, we help the global health community identify and share best practices and demonstrate how best practices can unite traditionally unilateral sectors. Economic growth for the Alliance and North Carolina. In promoting the Alliance and N.C. as an epicenter of global health worldwide, we help attract new talent, investment, and organizations to the region. Consolidated voice for advocacy. By combining our members’ voices into one common voice for global health, we convey more power, clout, and credibility with other businesses, governments, and communities regionally and worldwide.

< Back NCGHA Meets with Congresswoman Deborah Ross Feb 19, 2025 NCGHA, Member Representatives, and Students from UNC Discuss How the Closure of USAID and the Stop Work Order have Effected North Carolina On February 18, the NCGHA was honored to host a roundtable for our member institutions to meet with Congresswoman Deborah Ross, the US Representative for North Carolina's 2nd Congressional District. In addition to highlighting the top-tier global health work coming out of her district, this meeting served as an opportunity to put a spotlight on the immediate impacts that the Stop Work Order has had on employment in North Carolina, on the health and wellbeing of individuals globally, and on our country's national security. Representative Ross was sympathetic to our community's messages and encouraged us to continue collecting stories of impact that can help decision makers understand the toll this is having on our state. If you or your institution have been impacted by the recent Stop Work Order and you would like your story amplified, please reach out to us at members@ncglobalhealth.org - we will be happy to work with you to ensure decision makers hear your voice.

- 2023 Conference Main Webpage | NC Global Health
Explore Resilience in the Global Health Ecosystem at this Year's North Carolina Global Health Conference! The North Carolina Global Health Alliance's 10th Annual Conference will take place on November 1, 2023 at NC State University’s McKimmon Center in Raleigh, NC. At this year's event, our global health community will come together to evaluate what it means to have Resilience in the Global Health Ecosystem. Through this theme, we will reflect on the unique components of our resilient global health ecosystem; both those that bolster our resiliency as individuals and also those that strengthen our resiliency as a community in the face of an ever-evolving global landscape. The last few years have forced us all to “pivot” time and time again, and this conference is an invitation to our global health community to take stock of all that has changed and evaluate what has worked that we should bring forward and what has not served us that we should leave behind. This conference is a highly curated intentional space for innovative thinkers to come together to address some of the world's biggest health issues in an inclusive, creative, and bold environment. It will be a space for learning, sharing, reflecting, and connecting, and will serve as just the first step for countless conversations that we will bring forward into the coming year. Speakers include leaders and visionaries from academia, biopharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, government, medicine, NGOs, and philanthropy. Our three sub-themes will allow us to dive deep into what makes our Global Health Ecosystem Resilient and how we can strengthen that resilience through the choices we make as individuals and as a community. Sub-themes: Expanding Global Health Partnerships : Global health has expanded to include a broader, more diverse range of partners. Who are the partners at this new global health table and how do we work together in this new environment? Who is not at the table that needs to be and how do we include them? Adapting the Way We Work : The workplace is different than it was five years ago – and so are we! How have we adapted to our new environment? What is working for us and how do we let go of what isn’t? Deepening Community Relationships : Localization faces countless challenges. How do we overcome them for a more equitable, collaborative, and sustainable approach to global health? Join us as we come together in-person and learn from one another's big triumphs and big hiccups - We can't wait to see you there! Click to Register!

- 2025 Global Health in Transition | NC Global Health
North Carolina Global Health Alliance's 2025 event - Global Health in Transition. Sponsored by RTI International, Advocate Health, and Mastro Global, LLC; and Hosted by The North Carolina Biotechnology Center. Looking back at an event to remember The 2025 North Carolina Global Health Alliance Fall Event brought our community together at a moment when global health is rapidly shifting, and the energy in the room was undeniable! More than 140 practitioners, students, policymakers, and partners gathered to reflect on an era of transition and to imagine a path forward rooted in collaboration, courage, and hope. Throughout the morning, speakers challenged us to confront the complexities of global health today: evolving disease burdens, mismatched funding priorities, shifting geopolitical realities, and the urgent need for truly community-driven solutions. Storytelling emerged as a central theme, echoed most powerfully by our Ward Cates Emerging Voices in Global Health speakers. These five rising leaders delivered TED-style talks on antimicrobial resistance and climate change, stigma reduction, low value care, creative evaluation, and the importance of centering - and truly hearing - lived experience. Their optimism, insight, and courage reminded us that the future of global health is not only bright, it is already taking shape.
