Call for Affiliates

One of CHTF’s aims is to be innovative and creative in the research sponsored, promoted, and explored by the Center. We will provide affiliates an avenue to disseminate their research, learn more about Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data and how they can access it for their own analyses, and be alerted to additional funding, publication, and presentation opportunities as they arise. We are cultivating a robust network of engaged intellectuals who wish to exchange ideas with one another, work in tandem on research, and ultimately learn from each other. We especially hope this network extends beyond traditional public health experts to benefit from the rich opportunities for analyses of GBD data in partnership with experts from a wide range of social science disciplines.

Membership is open to any individual who participates in carrying out or studying social science research. If you are interested in participating as an affiliate, please complete our Affiliate Inquiry Form. If you have questions about membership or would like additional information, please contact Faye Ziegeweid, Center Project Manager, at [email protected].
