Biography

Nancy Fullman, MPH, is Scientific Advisor at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). In this role, she supports the generation, review, and publication of research results across multiple IHME projects. Nancy serves as a central point for implementing the highest possible scientific excellence throughout IHME, as well as advancing IHME’s overall scientific endeavors.

Previously, Nancy spent three years as one of IHME’s first Policy Translation Specialists, leading efforts to translate IHME’s research into actionable, policy-relevant materials and to engage stakeholders around the uses of global health evidence in decision-making. She led policy translation activities for the Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity (ABCE) project, a multicountry research initiative that assesses drivers of health system performance, and the Malaria Control Policy Assessment (MCPA) project in Zambia and Uganda. As a Policy Translation Specialist, Nancy also produced a pneumonia-focused report and supported work related to the Disease Control Priorities Network (DCPN) study, impact evaluations such as the Gavi Full Country Evaluations (FCE), and subnational benchmarking analyses in Nigeria.

Nancy was a Post-Bachelor Fellow at IHME from 2008 to 2011, during which time she conducted research on malaria interventions and helped launch the MCPA project in Zambia. She received her Master of Public Health in Health Metrics and Evaluation from the University of Washington in 2011. She then spent a year working for the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Global Health Group’s Malaria Elimination Initiative, where she led communications and advocacy efforts on behalf of malaria-eliminating countries, before returning to IHME in 2013.

Originally from a small town in New York State, Nancy received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Middlebury College.

Fragile states as grounds for innovation: targeted investments for ending childhood pneumonia
The Lancet Global Health Blog

Pneumonia kills more children under five each year than any other infectious disease – causing over 900,000 deaths each year. With nearly 60% of child pneumonia deaths occurring in countries deemed as “fragile states," the time is now to rejuvenate funding and programmes targeting these geographies.

Progress against pneumonia lags behind other childhood killers
Humanosphere

We know what works to fight pneumonia in children. Improving access to prompt diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia and scaling up vaccines that protect children against particularly deadly strains has occurred in many countries. So why has progress against pneumonia fallen behind?

Nigeria’s polio endgame and a chance to improve struggling routine vaccination services
BioMed Central

July 2015 saw two big milestones for Nigeria’s quest to eliminate polio. First, the country hit the one-year mark of recording zero polio cases, a significant achievement in global health. Second, Nigeria finished introducing the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) into routine immunization systems in five more states, accelerating the new vaccine’s implementation.

No Magic Wand Needed: How Bangladesh And Mozambique Tackle Malnutrition
Solutions Journalism Network

Since 2013, SJN has partnered with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) to share instances of exceptional progress and success in public health (known as “positive deviants”) using research and data produced at IHME. This weekly series highlights a timely example of positive deviance and shows you what locality has seen the most gains. We don’t, however, always know why such successes took place, which is why we look to journalists like you, in hopes that you’ll use these data as inspiration for stories. Run with the data. Report. Research. Find out how these countries are succeeding–and publish what you find with the world.

To Better Understand Success In Health, Look Local
Solutions Journalism Network

As improving the quality of health services and people’s access to them becomes more of a global priority (especially in the wake of the Ebola crisis), it’s easy to forget that “health” – how we live and die, and how we interact with health systems – rarely happens at the country-level. Global health leaders want to “ensure that every country [have] a robust and resilient health system,” but we also need to look at the wide variations happening within a country to learn from successful, local initiatives.

Roses are red, violets are blue, vaccines work – and measles deaths fell, too
Solutions Journalism Network

With America’s measles outbreak still spreading to new corners of the country, the public’s response is also become increasingly charged. Families are demanding that schools and pediatricians bar unvaccinated children from their premises. Political debates over how or if immunizations should be mandatory have exploded amid the rising measles case count.

Health System ABC(E)s: Start with physical infrastructure
Solutions Journalism Network

If you’re a health worker in Uganda, what do you need in order to provide the best possible care for your patients – people who could be suffering from anything from HIV to broken limbs? You need a range of medicines and other medical supplies, like stethoscopes or blood pressure cuffs. And of course enough medical personnel.

The #1 reason fewer people are dying, country-by-country
Solutions Journalism Network

For the global health field, 2015 is a year with a lot riding on it. The deadline for reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) looms, and deliberations continue about the post-MDG world should approach sustainable development (and what that should even mean). We’re celebrating improved survival in much of the world, yet we’re still struggling to contain Ebola in West Africa and less traditional “public health” problems, such as violence, are on rise in many places.

Explaining pneumonia’s big global decline on a tiny budget
Humanosphere

There appears to be a disconnect between the global burden of pneumonia and how much money is spent on attempting to reduce this burden, which Humanosphere recently summed up as: Pneumonia leads in killing children, but not in global health financing.

How Bangladesh reduced child pneumonia deaths by 80% in 20 years
Solutions Journalism Network

What causes more deaths than HIV, malaria, and measles—combined? Bet you didn’t guess pneumonia.

Despite the fact that in 2013, a child died from pneumonia every 35 seconds, minimal funding has gone to addressing this serious public health issue.

Visualizing zero malaria, whatever zero might be
Humanosphere

“We should declare the goal of eradicating malaria because we can eradicate malaria,” Gates said, to some consternation among the malaria experts. He challenged the audience to wipe out malaria for good, as the world did with smallpox in 1980, rather than continuing to simply contain the disease.

Rwanda Accelerates Toward Zero Malaria
Solutions Journalism Network

The rallying cry at this year’s meeting for the American Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene (ASTMH), which ended yesterday, was “Accelerating to Zero,” the Gates Foundation’s vision to eradicate malaria. Many places are nearly there: China is closing in on zero malaria and Saudi Arabia is within a few cases of ending malaria for good.

It takes a village (or several countries) to stop infectious disease
Solutions Journalism Network

Amid the fierce debate and public outcry over American cities quarantining health workers returning from West Africa, at least one difficult question has also emerged: what are the other optimal measures, perhaps more balanced across legal rights and public health needs, we should use against a deadly infectious disease that doesn’t carry a passport?

Epilepsy successes show how we might spend that Ice Bucket money
Solutions Journalism Network

In the US and globally, ALS certainly claims fewer lives each year than more common diseases. Cancer, for example, caused 204 deaths per 100,000 in the US in 2010. At the same time, these more common diseases generally have much better treatment options and longer-term prognoses – and many of them can even be prevented.

Walk this way: Where pedestrian deaths are on the decline
Solutions Journalism Network

In Seattle, I often take walking – and getting to my destination safely – for granted.  When I’m not bussing somewhere or riding my bike as a means of transport, it’s all on my two feet to get me from A to B.  Aside from dodging the occasional cyclist or texting-while-walking offender, I rarely feel as if I’m at-risk of bodily harm.

Exclusive breastfeeding: Tracking interventions and outcomes
Solutions Journalism Network

This week I had the opportunity to help launch the results from an impact evaluation assessing district-level trends in intervention coverage and child mortality in Zambia. One of the most striking results – for both IHME researchers and colleagues in Zambia – was the country’s remarkable scale-up of exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), or solely breastfeeding children for the first six months of life.

Solutions Journalism Network

Today is World Stroke Day, a day dedicated to heightening awareness about a condition that afflicts at least one in every six people during their lifetimes. However, this statistic is far from inevitable, as the American Stroke Association emphasizes that stroke is largely preventable, treatable, and beatable.

Healthy Tuesdays: Breathing easy in Peru
Solutions Journalism Network

For many, Peru is known for its stunning mountain landscapes and rich history. The crisp, clean air surrounding the likes of Machu Picchu only heightens the breathtaking sights found at the end of the trek. Unfortunately, this air quality is not found everywhere in Peru, especially in rapidly growing – and increasingly polluted – cities like Lima.
