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!

2022 Economic Impact Report The Global Health Sector's Contributions to North Carolina's Economy Global health is a cross-disciplinary field that promotes collective solutions to improving health, reducing health disparities, and protecting against global threats to health. From mitigating emerging disease outbreaks to developing treatments for diseases and increasing access to safe drinking water and sanitation, North Carolina is home to a myriad of organizations that are at the forefront of global health. Activities like new drug development, medical device manufacturing and clinical research not only improve the health of the world's communities, but also stimulate and support employment and economic activity. Despite challenges caused by the COVID–19 pandemic, North Carolina’s global health sector continues to grow and make substantial contributions to the state’s economy. More than 900 organizations work locally and internationally to save lives, improve health, and protect against global threats. This report provides an overview of global health organizations’ contributions to North Carolina’s economy, as well as the social impact these organizations have. Report Highlights: North Carolina is home to more than 900 organizations and institutions, operating in more than 175 countries. Global health organizations employ more than 56,000 direct global health jobs in North Carolina and sustain an additional 117,850 jobs across multiple sectors. For each direct job in the global health sector, two additional jobs are supported in other industries. Combined, these direct and indirect jobs accounted for approximately 3.4% of North Carolina’s total labor force in 2021. In 2021, global health jobs paid $13.1 billion in annual wages, salaries, and benefits -- an average of about $75,300 per job. Global health organizations contributed $31.9 billion in total value added to North Carolina’s economy in 2021. This is equivalent to an increase in the standard of living of $3,000 per resident and is comparable to other important North Carolina sectors, such as construction. The global health industry directly produced $37.2 billion of goods and services and contributed another $22.1 billion in output. Growth in the number of global health organizations also has been strong: more than 180, or 20% of the organizations in this analysis, were founded in 2017 or after. In 2021, more than $2.6 billion in health research funding came to North Carolina from external sources, such as federal agencies and nonprofits. The amount of federal health research funding in North Carolina has nearly doubled since 2017. Read the Full Report Here Thank you to our sponsors who helped make this report possible!

2022 NC Global Health Annual Conference Thursday, October 6, 2022 SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT The submission deadline for all abstracts was Friday, September 2 at 5:00 pm ET. Impact in Global Health: Are We Making a Difference? At a time of global economic hardship, and when global health inequities are even more pronounced, our global health programs, services and research need to be more impactful than ever. Are we actually making a difference? Are our programs and services having the individual, social, economic and political impacts that are needed today? Is our research yielding the required evidence? Can we demonstrate this impact? Can we identify when they are not? What are the key elements of effective programs? What lessons can we learn? Our 2022 Annual Conference will explore these questions and the global health impact North Carolina's organizations, and those based nationally and globally, are having at the individual, community and global levels. Sub-theme 1: IMPACT OF LOCAL AND GLOBAL HEALTH PROGRAMS AND SERVICES Examples of evidence-based local and global health programs and services that have demonstrated impact Strategies for identifying programs, services, and research that had individual, social, economic and/or political impact Examples of local and global health programs and services that did not produce the expected impact, reasons why, and lessons learned Ways that local and global health interventions maintain cultural relevance to achieve impact Learnings from how the COVID-19 pandemic and other global health issues can affect program or intervention impact The importance of measuring outcomes to address global health inequities and support sustainable programming Sub-theme 2: IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH Components of local and global health programs that are impactful – how do these programs work? Strategies for measuring the implementation of local and global health programs Feasibility and acceptability of effective local and global health programs and services Examples of using frameworks in measuring the implementation of local and global health programs Sub-theme 3: COMMUNICATING GLOBAL HEALTH IMPACT AND IMPLEMENTATION FINDINGS Examples of demonstrating and/or communicating impact to different audiences Use of outcome data to shape future adaptation in existing programs Examples of how interventions changed based on health outcome data Barriers to scaling up evidence-based global health interventions Review and Notification Process Each submission will be reviewed by the NC Global Health Conference Planning Committee.

If you submitted an abstract, you will be notified by September 9, 2022 on the status of your submission. Return to Main Conference Page

Reflections on a Shared Day of Community and Commitment On April 25, the North Carolina Global Health Alliance welcomed 120 members of our state’s global health community to the NC Biotechnology Center for a powerful day of reflection, reconnection, and forward momentum. The Global Health Futures Symposium was more than a professional gathering—it was a reunion, a healing space, and a rallying cry. As we gathered over coffee, breakfast, and long-overdue hugs, it was clear how much we all needed this moment. In the wake of an unprecedented 95-day pause in U.S. foreign aid programs—triggered by an Executive Order to “Reevaluate and Realign” international assistance—our sector has been shaken. Jobs lost. Futures uncertain. But our purpose remains clear. In her opening remarks, Brianna Clarke-Schwelm , Executive Director of NCGHA, met the moment with honesty. She spoke to the exhaustion and uncertainty many in the room were feeling — and also to the unshakable importance of our work. “This is lifesaving work,” she said, “and when we say lifesaving, that is not hyperbole.” Quoting John Lewis, she reminded us: “...each one of us in every generation must do our part… the responsibility is ours alone to build a better society and a more peaceful world.” To open our hearts before the policy conversations began, Brianna introduced Emily Cataneo and Arshia Simkin , founders of the Redbud Writing Project , who invited attendees to engage in healing through storytelling. They led with a poignant reading, then encouraged everyone to write—offering writing prompts and a midday workshop that many attendees described as moving and transformative. The first panel, moderated by Brianna, brought Elisha Dunn-Georgiou , JD, MS, President & CEO of the Global Health Council, and Jeremy Tolbert , Deputy National Outreach Director of the US Global Leadership Coalition, into conversation on the state of global health advocacy. They unpacked the challenges of navigating today’s political climate, from litigation to preserve global health funding to reframing how we talk about international investment with local relevance. “Leading globally matters locally,” Jeremy reminded us—a theme echoed throughout the day. After the break (and Redbud’s writing workshop), we shifted focus to the local application of global expertise. In a session facilitated by Deborah Baron , PhD, MPH, MIA, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Health Behavior at UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, panelists Laura Rowley , PhD, Vice President of Life Sciences Economic Development at the NC Biotechnology Center and Patrick Brown , PharmD, Executive Director of the NC Public Health Collaboration, explored how global health skills—advocacy, cross-sector leadership, resilience—can and should power local health efforts. Their message was clear: your skills are transferable, and North Carolina needs you. In a moving moment that left few dry eyes, Redbud returned to the stage to introduce two audience members who shared stories they had written that day—raw reflections of service, struggle, and enduring commitment to health equity. NC Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall closed the symposium with a powerful reminder of North Carolina’s long-standing and ongoing role in global health leadership. Drawing on her office’s 26-year partnership with Moldova, she emphasized the importance of diplomacy, collaboration, and storytelling. “You represent the best of who we are,” she said. “As you listen, collaborate, and lead—never turn down the opportunity to share your story.” Brianna concluded the day with a message of belonging: whether or not you remain in the traditional global health sector, you will always be part of this community. The North Carolina Global Health Alliance is, and will remain, a home for all who believe in global health equity. Let us continue the climb—together. With Closing Remarks From Elaine F.
