The Consortium of Universities for Global Health (CUGH), established in 2008, is a consortium of institutions in high, middle and low income countries involved in global health. CUGH members currently include over 120 academic institutions. Organizations associated with CUGH include USAID, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NIH, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Rockefeller Foundation. The CUGH model embraces the power of knowledge exchange, capacity building, and interdisciplinary collaboration to solve complex global health problems. Recognizing the mutual benefits of partnerships between universities in low, middle, and high income settings, CUGH facilitates the creation of long-term relationships. CUGH also facilitates deeper engagement between universities and their communities, so that global health knowledge can be translated into action. ==CUGH Activities== CUGH's activities include: *IMPACT: Facilitating the implementation of evidence-based global health interventions; working to connect universities, NGOs, governments, the private sector and foundations in low, middle, and high income countries in mutually beneficial partnerships. *ADVOCACY: Producing materials, partnerships, and events around global health policy; assisting member organizations' growth. *CAPACITY BUILDING: Facilitating interdisciplinary capacity-building in low-resource settings. *EDUCATION: Serving as a resource center for global health research, curricula, and competencies; engaging members in the ongoing development of the global health educational field. *ENABLING SYSTEMS: Creating resources to facilitate inter-university exchanges; continuing to serve as a facilitating partner in university-to-university relationships. *INFORMATION RESOURCES: Providing up-to-date, accessible information resources for the general public, policymakers, academics, and the media.
