Women in Global Health Research Initiative
Supporting the next generation of global infectious disease scholars
About Us
The Weill Cornell Women in Global Health Research Initiative (WGHRI), established in 2014, aims to bring together trainees and junior and senior faculty to enhance women’s representation in global health leadership, both in the U.S. and internationally. Our goal is to train women in leadership and research to accelerate improving critical global health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries, and to increase gender parity in global health leadership.
