International Agreements
The Office of Global Health (OGH) coordinates the execution of agreements with international institutions and organizations in the support of international programs for students and Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ faculty exchanges. In serving as Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ's contact for the agreement development process, OGH supports Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ faculty and ensures the university acts in a strategic and consistent manner.
Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ has a two-phase agreement process that includes a Letter of Intent and a Program Agreement.
Letter of Intent
A Letter of Intent is a general umbrella document whereby Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ and the international institution agree to explore future collaborations.
The Letter of Intent does not set forth a specific program or project, but is the requisite parent document to any specific agreement which may later be executed between the parties.
The Letter of Intent is signed at the department or school level and by the Office of Global Health.
Program Agreement
A Program Agreement defines specific collaborative programs, projects, and initiatives by outlining expectations and responsibilities. It is established on behalf of a specific Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ school and requires the approval of the President of Ìð¹ÏÊÓƵ.
Individual Program Agreements are executed for each separate program or project, such as observerships, student exchanges, ongoing faculty visits, joint research projects, and other collaborations.
