Join the Affiliate Program

The Institute for Global Health Sciences Affiliate Program (AP) started in 2016 to build community and identify resources to support the growing number of people across UCSF working on issues of global health equity.

The Affiliate Program helps build collaborations and increases the collective impact of the University’s global health equity work.

All UCSF global health community members with a demonstrated commitment to global health issues are eligible.

In 2020, we added a Global Affiliate Program to the Affiliate Program to include and support non-UCSF collaborators.

To date, more than 350 Affiliates have joined these two programs. They come from all UCSF Schools and numerous global sites engaged in many aspects of global health equity work, including research, education, policy and clinical work.
