Bringing Research to Impact for Global Health at Tsinghua

Bringing Research to Impact for Global Health at Tsinghua The Bringing Research to Impact for Global Health at Tsinghua (BRIGHT) program was initiated by Vanke School of Public Health, Tsinghua University (VSPH).

The BRIGHT program uses partnerships between Tsinghua University and early career researchers working in the public health sectors in developing countries to develop a research network. This network generates knowledge to address global health priorities in developing countries, strengthens the research and scientific capacity of a new generation of leaders in global health research, builds a tech

nical assistance base for providing China's international collaborations in the health sector with strategic choices and evidence-based programming decisions, and ultimately advances the use of evidence to create development impact. The BRIGHT program mission is to advance the use of the scientific knowledge and evidence-informed interventions of global health to create development impact in developing countries. Reflecting the aims set out above, and building on a well-established set of institutional connections and commitments to working together, BRIGHT Network comprises three core activities: capacity building; support for and coordination of global health research; and the provision of scientific advice to China's international collaborations in the health sector.
