 I've got no real acting talent, so I brought the payoff for the judges here. If you can't win, fair cheat, I guess. Now that you're back, tell me if you can have another one. I'm going to reload. First I'll acknowledge that I took over just about a year ago in this program from Nina Gaby, and she did a great job, and some of what I'll talk about is what really she did before she retired to Italy. And also to acknowledge the incredible staff support of Georgina Lopez and Teresa Molar. A lot of times we kind of focus on ourselves, faculty, but the staff are often really key for getting any of this done. The Global Health Program is unique to the UCSF CTSI. I don't think that's going to stay the case, because clearly when we look at what's happening, there is an absolutely incredible expansion of interest in global health. And I'll tell you a little bit about the funding and the range of projects that we see here in CTSI. The Global Health Program, as this slide says, I'm not sure if you can see it from the back, but has done a lot of work. And again, this is the work that was done before I joined through something that has... I'm a fan of acronyms. This is one of the worst. G. Rez. We're working on changing that global research enterprise support. There has to be something better. But G. Rez, under CTSI, formed several working groups that addressed issues of regulatory burdens, budgetary issues affecting global health research, and very importantly, travel, safety, and health. Many of our people are in rather unstable situations and issues of evacuation. Prophylaxis with antibiotics are really important. The website that was created has begun to compile the regulations, the advice, the experience, and I'll tell you a little bit more about that because that ends up being one of our important goals going forward. But sharing information, which is so important in an area that's growing so quickly. And this is just a couple of screenshots. You can go on the website and see this. Another thing if you could see this that this would highlight is the very intimate relationship between the CTSI Global Health Program and Global Health Sciences. It turns out in Global Health there is a really amazing proliferation of acronyms, organizations that often have the same people and the same staff. So one of the efforts, I think, is to harmonize this to some degree. And I'll tell you a little bit more about that later as well. And a number of issues that were raised by the work groups, and I'll tell you about our efforts to actually have success in resolving some of the concerns that have been raised. One of the things that was very important in the past in continuing is to develop a better database. It turns out that before CTSI Global Health was funded in 2007, there was really no way to search the database of UCSF investigators or grants to know which ones were being conducted abroad. So there is now a very active database, very searchable, and I'll show you just a screenshot of it, but just at the bottom of this slide you see that UCSF has over 3,000 funded projects, 600 UCSF investigators working in 100 plus countries, and the total grants and direct costs are over $80 million a year. And again, screenshots of the database. It's a heat map so you can click on a site, see who's there, and the rest. So one more minute, focus on faculty needs. This is what we're really trying to do now. We started another acronym called the International Research Advisory Council, or RAC. We're open to suggestions for a better acronym, and our goal is to build the community connections to create linkages between projects to break down barriers. I thought we were getting out of a RAC. Global research is very siloed, almost by nature, and so we're really trying our best to find ways to correct that. We've come up with real solutions. I'm going to skip this one. This one of Grant Garces. And in the next steps, we're going to try to link the databases more effectively with profiles so that the profiles is more richly reflecting of the global health enterprise. Expand a RAC, providing a safe space for investigators on the ground to share ideas, to share problems. Do you have social networking tools to help do that, to create more of a legacy of these solutions and to provide direct administrative support for scholars? Thank you. Thank you, Paul. Great presentation. Sam, you want to start off the... Paul, one of the issues in global health frequently is that a lot of different organizations, a lot of different universities are in the same countries often doing the same things, but not particularly well coordinated. We now all five... The same universities in some states aren't very well coordinated. Right. We all five UC campuses now have CTSAs. And I'm wondering what efforts, if any, are underway to, particularly in our global health efforts, coordinate at least across the UCs or perhaps across larger networks. But what are we doing in that area? Well, I think we're really just starting as the answer. But one of the ideas is to create offices in foreign countries where our investigators and perhaps others from other UCs are very active. And this is being coordinated through the office of the president. So that's one way that we could begin to do that. And a lot of the UC, obviously the policies are largely the same across the campuses. And so the challenges that we face are the same ones that somebody from San Diego would face. And so I think this might be a very productive area in which to move. Great. Talmich? I don't have any. Nothing. David? Just thinking across the different parts. So we've got some domestic work. We've got the global work. Is there any thought about putting those kinds of databases together to leverage into immigrant air bridge kinds of studies? Yeah. San Diego probably has had the most organized approach to that and thinking of the cross-border issues as part of their global health enterprise, if you will. And I think that's a good model for us. Jeff, in some of the earlier discussions that we've had, talks about the issues of disparity and access being at some levels comparable here in San Francisco and certainly between another Bay Area community. So I think there are lessons that we can share along those lines. Just thinking, for example, if you have Asian populations here in Asia where you've got projects going and then people moving back and forth. That leverages into a new kind of study. Yeah. I don't know the data exactly, but we're deeper for some reason in Africa than we are in Asia as a university global health program. But I think to the degree we are in countries where there is movement back and forth, I think that would be ideal. I mean, the term that we've used in the department, Paul and I, and Neil Paul, is local global. Part of what is interesting to me is that many of the things that Paul and others have learned from their international work actually applies three blocks down the street. And that if we could figure out a way to implement those things here, we could actually improve our own healthcare system. So the question is how do we bring them back? Well, one of the, you know, we haven't really sufficiently dug into this, but CTSI has a very active implementation science program. Implementation science is hugely important as we try to do more capacity building in African countries. But again, it's just as relevant here. So I think that's a good point. Great. Well, thank you. Thank you, Paul.
