UBC’s Global Access Principles are featured in pgs 94-98 of the Global Health Case Study Initiative’s ‘Case Studies for Global Health’
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Health Organization’s Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR), Global Health Progress (GHP), International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI) and Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) have joined together to form the Alliance for Case Studies for Global Health. This groundbreaking project has collected case studies that provide others with information on current practices and insight on lessons learned (both positive and negative) in the course of conducting activities relating to global health matters.
The case studies highlight collaborations that are built and/or transactions that are entered into which address a global health concern. Global health concern refers to those diseases that have a disproportionate impact on developing countries, but need not be the sole focus of the collaboration or transaction. The intended audience for this initiative includes organizations and individuals who are currently involved or are interested in helping to fulfill global health objectives.
