U-M Medical School faculty are engaged in meaningful research with collaborators around the world. In 2022-23, more than 100 Global REACH Faculty Associates (from the medical school) and Faculty Affiliates (from other health science disciplines) published nearly 400 papers with foreign co-authors. While some of the foreign co-authors are at institutions in high-resource countries, many others are from comparatively low-resource settings, including Global REACH Platform countries like China, India, and Brazil.

Faculty Associate/Affiliate Network - Our Global REACH network of Faculty Associates (medical school) and Affiliates (non-med school) boasts more than 200 colleagues from nearly every UMMS department and discipline as well as a number of colleagues from other U-M health science schools. It is a good resource for learning which faculty at U-M are active in global health and where they are engaged.

Global REACH Partnership Development Grants provide travel funds to faculty to help them develop new collaborative relationships with colleagues at international institutions.
