5. Creating
community
Interest groups
¡ Interest Groups- central point to join. Online presence for groups
¡ Posting and updates are immediate
¡ Assist in ID-ing members and maintaining email lists

6. Creating
community
social networking
¡ Facebook- Bay Area Global Health Events
¡ Twitter: events & RFA’s, syndicatable by anyone.
¡ Google calendar? Auto-populates UCSF accts

7. Resources and Support
Consultation services
¡ A mechanism to credit faculty for time spent
¡ Available to external consultees
¡ Used to capture conundrums with no easy answer

8. Resources and support
Working groups (travel, compliance, finance)
¡ GH finance issues are developed in RA forums, as UC transitions to OE, the
topics that are addressed are posted to the GlobalResearch Grants
Management Forum
¡ Travel safety subcommittee convenes quarterly for review and action
(current hot topic is a unified UCSF approach to needle-stick abroad).
Resources developed in the committee are posted to Risk management,
the GlobalResearch Travel forum, integrated into student resources, and
disseminated in the GlobalResearch Newsletter.
¡ UC-wide initiative to standardize export controls- especially deemed export.

9. Resources and support
International Database (IPD)
Revamp of front and back end. Improve functionality & user interface.
Add city data, tag programs by topic, parse by active vs archive.

10. Resources and support
GlobalHUB
Partnering with the Office of Ethics and compliance to develop a
Global HUB modeled on their Clinical Compliance HUB

11. Resources and support
Ensure systems share Global voice
¡ With Profiles to syndicate as much data as possible
¡ With contracts and grants, to extract old data and ensure new
data systems collect GH data
¡ With Risk Management, capture travel data
¡ With CHR, capture old data and plan new systems

12. Early career faculty
(JrGlobal)
¡ Identifying Research interest is difficult from a systems
perspective
¡ Identifying Global health passion is harder
¡ Those who fund projects through NGO’s rather than UCSF are a
missed resource
¡ Many of the career hurdles that are impeded by Global work
are left intact as faculty move onto the next hurdle
¡ Convening JrGlobal’s formally and informally to identify and
address issues, and foster collaborations

13. IRAC
can help
¡ Refer GH interested researchers to the resources
¡ Include a cc to Paul or Teresa when someone asks a FAQ, we can
make sure it gets posted, so you won’t get asked again.
¡ You may be tapped for expertise as a consultant
¡ You may be tapped for a working group
¡ IRAC meetings feature new resources to support GHResearch, let
your peers know about them
¡ Senior faculty represent expertise in how UCSF conducts research
abroad. We convene 3 or 4 times a year. 90 members means we
average 25 attendees
