Dear Global Health Colleagues,
As a member of the CSIS Smart Global Health Commission and Director of the Duke Global Health Institute, I want to let you know about an exciting essay contest for global health students and the general public. The Commission on Smart Global Health is seeking answers to the question:
What is the most important thing the US can do to improve global health over the next 15 years?
In 500-800 words, we want to hear what students have to say about fresh, innovative approaches to the important challenges we face in global health. Students at all levels -- from undergraduate to medical and professional students -- are eligible.
The author of the first-place essay will receive a $1,000 scholarship and be published in the Commission's final report, while the second-place entrant will receive a $500 scholarship. There will also be $1,000 and $500 prizes for the first and second-place entries by non-students.
Complete details, including contest rules, can be found at:

I'm honored to be a member of the Commission which aims to focus on
practical solutions that maximize efficiency, produce measurable results, and engage the American public.
One of our key goals is to gather input from anyone who has expertise or experience working in global health fields, including students. This essay contest is one way we're expanding the conversation to include the ideas, stories and opinions of people who are passionate about global health issues.
I hope you'll forward this opportunity along to anyone who might be interested:
