Population health memorandum signed with China CDC

The University of Washington and the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention signed today a memorandum of understanding to foster greater collaboration in the field of population health.

The agreement, which was signed by the UW’s Vice Provost of Global Affairs Jeffrey Riedinger and China CDC Deputy Director-General Dr. Liang Xiaofeng (pictured), seeks to explore the development of potential cooperative programs in areas such as:

• Joint research activities, publications and library exchanges
• Exchange of researchers for teaching, research and training
• Exchange of researchers for project and activity implementation

This agreement follows discussions that began when UW President Ana Mari Cauce visited China CDC Director General Wang Yu in Beijing in June 2017.
