New Investigators in Global Health |

 What is the New Investigators in Global Health (NIGH) Program?
The NIGH program is a competitive abstract submission and selection program designed to highlight exemplary research, policy and advocacy initiatives of new and future leaders in global health, and empower participants with global health advocacy skills. The program also provides the selected participants with the opportunity to make a presentation at a major international conference.
 The program culminates in the selected presenters attending and participating in a full week of activities at the Council's Annual International Conference on Global Health, June 14-18, 2010 in Washington, D.C. Winners will participate in either the NIGH panel or the general poster session, and will attend career development sessions, a special networking reception, the Council's Annual Awards Banquet, daily check-ins, and advocacy skills training led by leading global health advocates.

Nick Simons Scholars
Mohammad Islam and Stan Wang have been named the 2010 Nick Simons Scholars. The Nick Simons Foundation created the Nick Simons Scholars program in memory of Nick, a New York man who, having recently graduated from college, travelled to Nepal to work in 2002. He fell in love with the country, and returned home with the dream of becoming a doctor for the underserved. Tragically, Nick’s life ended some months later when he drowned while swimming in Indonesia. With the goal of bringing New Investigators in Global Health from the United States and from developing countries together in a positive working relationship, Mohammad and Stan were chosen as the Nick Simons Scholars based on their common interest in child health and survival.
Allan Rosenfield Scholar
Alison Newman has been named the 2010 Allan Rosenfield Scholar. The late Dr. Rosenfield was a true global health hero, a champion for women’s health and rights and maternal care around the globe.
Dr. Rosenfield was also a committed board member of the Global Health Council and a staunch supporter of the New Investigators in Global Health program since it launched in 2005. To honor his legacy, the Global Health Council’s Board of Directors has created the Allan Rosenfield Scholar designation, selecting a leading accepted New Investigator presenter focusing on Allan’s historic priorities – maternal, reproductive and family health.
