Garrett Heilman '08: First Job, DC

An update from one of our new alums:

I am currently working under a Gates Foundation grant for the Paul G. Rogers society as a global health researcher in D.C. Research!America is the nation's largest not-for-profit public education and advocacy alliance with a membership of 500 member organizations representing the voices of more than 125 million Americans. With support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Research!America established the Paul G. Rogers Society for Global Health Research, for whom I work. The Paul G. Rogers Society engages seventy-five of the United States’ leading global health scientists as advocates to increase public awareness of the economic, national security, and diplomatic benefits of increased funding in global health research. These researchers meet with policymakers and the media to make their case for the value and importance of a greater US investment in this research.
