Category : News/Events
To register, click HERE.
Training Description
The federal government is launching an initiative to end the HIV epidemic by 1) increasing the number of US Americans who know their current HIV status, 2) increasing the number of US Americans with HIV infection who are effectively treated and have sustained viral suppression, and 3) rapid expansion and reduced racial/ethnic disparities in PrEP provision to the estimated 1.2 million US American with sexual and injection behaviors that place them as substantial risk of HIV acquisition.

Learning Objectives
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
Describe PrEP care including protocols

IT access after graduation, Rollins Help Desk
Category : News/Events
If you are a SPRING graduate of RSPH, your RSPH access will be removed on May 31, 2019.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Dear Emory Graduates,
Congratulations on your graduation! As you leave Emory, you will also lose access to your Emory resources. Here is some useful information on when your access to Emory resources will run out and some steps to make your transition as smooth as possible:
You will lose access to ALL RSPH resources on May 31, 2019.
Emory resources, such as your email, Office 365 Apps and E-Journals you will lose access after 90 days from graduation.
Make sure you save a copy of any files off of the various network drives you currently have access to (e.g., H drive) that you want to keep. Research project files may not be copied/saved from the network drive without consent. Your H drive will be deleted on June 1, 2019, and will not be able to be restored. Please make sure all files for any research project are stored in the appropriate T or S drive location.
Emails cannot automatically be forwarded from your Emory email account to a different email account due to security reasons. If you have emails that you wish to have after access is cut off, please begin manually sending them to another email address that you have.
If you have any contacts that currently email you at your Emory address, please notify them that you will no longer have access after 90 days to the Emory email account and provide them with an alternate address to contact you with. Also be sure to copy down contacts that you need from your Emory email account.
You can set up a permanent Emory alumni address, but this is not connected to your current Emory account. It acts as an Emory email address that will forward to an email address of your choice, such as your Gmail account. You can register on the Emory Alumni site as this web address: HERE.
Once registered you will be able to sign up for a permanent alumni Emory email address. One note of advice if you try to create your alumni email account and get the following error… “…cannot find your record…”. Then please follow the link on the alumni site that says “Complete this request form”. This link appears under the message “Can’t find your record?” and will help you move forward.
Please also take a minute to update your contact information HERE to begin taking advantage of the alumni benefits and services available to you!
If you will continue to work on a project after May 31 or are taking a position within RSPH, please make sure your supervisor contacts the RSPH Help Desk by May 20th with what access you will need to avoid interruption in your access. They must include your netid and specify the access you need, not just that you need access.
If you have any computer issues, please email them to help [at] sph [dot] emory [dot] edu.

2019 Global Health Conference, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Category : GLEPI News/Events
Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Global Health Center is accepting abstracts for presentation at our conference, Global Health in Our Own Backyard: Controversies, Initiatives, and Innovations for Our Local Underserved Populations, to be held Oct. 4 – 5, 2019.
Abstracts may be related to any aspect of global child health. This year we are particularly interested in abstracts that highlight serving the underserved in the United States, but we also look forward to showcasing cutting-edge global child health work happening in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Abstracts in the categories of original research, program evaluation/public health, quality improvement, clinical care, and personal narratives will be considered.
Please note, personal narratives must include background, summary of experience and key takeaways from your experience of either providing or receiving care in an underserved setting/situation.
Submitted abstracts should address one or more of the following themes:
- Programs: Developing sustainable programs that prioritize public health and equitable care
- Lessons: Thinking critically about how to apply both South-North and national lessons to provide better, more equitable care in the United States
- Advocacy: Increasing awareness of existing disparities in the U.S. and ways to advocate for underrepresented patients
- Global child health in a LMIC
- Other topics of interest to the pediatric global health community
Abstract selection process
Abstracts will be selected for presentation based on quality, merit, and relevance to the conference themes. Projects may be in various stages of development. Abstracts will be accepted for either oral electronic poster (e-poster) or oral poster-walk presentation, and acceptance will be determined by an Abstract Review Committee following blinded peer review.
Abstracts will be reviewed for submission based on the following criteria:
- Relevance of topic
- Originality
- Pediatric global health merit and importance
- Quality of research design and data analysis
- Quality of conclusions
- Clarity of writing
Poster Presentation Format
Every accepted abstract will be asked to give an oral poster presentation, either in an e-poster session or in a poster-walk session. Each poster will be assigned to a group by theme. A moderator will be assigned to each group and will coordinate the order of presentations and questions. Regardless of whether a poster is in printed or e-form, presenters will each give a five-minute overview of their work and will have time to take one or two questions. Instructions for the preparation of posters (including format and size) will be provided to the contact author with the presentation acceptance notification in July 2019.
General Abstract Submission Policies
