Applied
Global Health Research
We participate in numerous collaborative
research programs that focus on global health challenges–from
treating infectious diseases to providing access to health
care for mothers, children and other vulnerable populations.
For example, CGH is currently participating in research on
cardiovascular disease in Africa, working with Mexican partners
in New York and Mexico City on tuberculosis-related projects,
and studying the determinants of gastric cancer in the Chinese-American
community.

The
10/90 Gap
" Every
year more than US $70 billion is spent on health
research and development by the public and private
sectors. An estimated 10% of this is used for
research into 90% of the world's health problems.
This is what is called "the 10/90 gap."
