Welcome
In 1979, the UAB Sparkman Center for Global Health was established with congressional approval in honor of US Senator John J. Sparkman to assist in developing Public Health training programs in low-middle income countries.
To achieve this impact, the Center has several educational, experiential, and practical opportunities and offerings for students, faculty, and international partners.
Students can engage with the Center in various ways, including the Global Health Interest Group (GHIG), Peace Corp Prep, Global Health Case Competition, the Sparkman Fellows program, International Student Connect, internships, and more.
Funding and training opportunities are available for students through the Moses Sinkala Travel Scholarship and the School of Public Health Global Health Foreign Travel Award, and faculty offerings through the D43 INSIGHT Training Grant, the Sparkman Scholars, and more.
The Center is always looking for ways to create new national and international partnerships and to encourage shared solutions to global health issues. Our collaborations are the cornerstone of real impact and change.
