Research

GHS students conduct interviews, research and analysis which results in policy briefs, establishing their key findings and recommendations.


The Global Health Studies program drives interdisciplinary inquiry at the frontiers of global health. This work includes partnerships with governmental, non-profit, and multilateral organizations to analyze urgent challenges in global health leadership and policy.

In 2026, five policy briefs were published:

  • Transforming Conflict: Former Combatants and Community Healing in Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • A Tool for System Change: Turning Water Insecurity Into Action
  • Investing in Caregivers: Low-Cost, High-Impact Strategies to Improve Child Development and Well-Being
  • Addressing Gender-Based Self-Stigma in Adolescents Living with HIV: Evidence Gaps and Policy Responses
