Global Health and Vaccination Research

Global Health and Vaccination Research (GLOBVAC) is a programme of the Research Council of Norway. Its primary objective is to support high-quality research with potential for high impact that can contribute to sustainable improvements in health and health equity for poor people in low- and lower-middle income countries (LMIC). Norwegians institutions may apply for grants in collaboration with researchers in other countries.^[1]

As all programmes of the Research Council of Norway it is led by a programme board appointed by the Division Board for Society and Health at the Research Council. The programme board for the period 2011 - 2014 is chaired by Peter Smith (epidemiologist). Other members include Prof. Nelson Sewankambo and Prof. Rifat Atun

It prioritizes projects in the following thematic areas:

1. Prevention and treatment of, and diagnostics for, communicable diseases with particular relevance for low and lower-middle income countries.

1. Family planning, reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child and youth health.
2. Health systems and health policy research: that is production and application of knowledge to improve how societies organize themselves in order to achieve health goals.
3. Implementation research: research on the promotion of uptake of research findings into public health programmes, and to expand knowledge on strategies for implementation and wider scaling-up of effective health interventions and health services.
4. Innovation in technology and methods development for maternal and child health in settings where appropriate technologies are not available or non-existing.

   Vaccinations are said to have harmful effects on ones DNA structure, resulting in many forms of autism.  However, these theories are easily proven wrong and the work of the doctor that made these claims has been stripped from the internet and any other information sources.  Deeper research into all of these vaccines' is important, as is the use of vaccines by society in order to prevent and eliminate irreversible diseases in the human race.  The preservatives contained in some of these vaccines is said to be the main problem, due to the very small amount of mercury that is in it.  These claims have also been exposed as untrue and the CDC says that the amount in each injection is not enough to cause any adverse effects.
