Issue title: Global health research helps save lives

Welcome to 2009’s third quarter Global Health E-Brief, designed to inform readers about key global health activities at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This issue highlights CDC's global health research. Looking for ways to ensure efforts maximize health and economic impact, CDC conducts research to evaluate, compare, and improve health programs and policies at every stage — from initial planning and design through implementation under often-challenging field conditions in the country. Research, particularly operations or applied research that takes science from "laboratory to field” is one of CDC's core contributions to the field of global health.
