Abstract

This article reviews operating principles to guide engagement with local and global partners aimed at improving child health status. In the realms of research, education, clinical care, and administration, these principles are part of an organizing framework to be paired with faculty competencies that address the values/ethics of engagement, specific roles/responsibilities of partners, effective communication strategies among partners, the value of teamwork, and a full understanding of special considerations. Readers are referred to examples of prior advocacy work and implementation research models.

Keywords: Faculty competencies; Global health; Implementation research; Operating principles.
