Under his leadership, the Center secured a multiyear $6.3 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, along with major contributions from other corporate and foundation contributors, which underwrite work to advance a long-term strategic U.S. approach to global health, cultivate new global health champions, enrich our understanding of the security and foreign policy dimensions of global health, and link Washington-based work to emerging policy expertise in key developing and middle income countries. Beginning in the spring of 2009, he directed the CSIS Commission on a Smart Global Health Policy, comprised of 25 diverse high-level opinion leaders. Its findings are detailed in the final report ‘A Healthier, Safer, and More Prosperous World: Report of the CSIS Commission on Smart Global Health Policy,’ published in March 2010.
