UVA Humanitarian Collaborative

The Humanitarian Collaborative is the heart of the Batten Schools' Global Policy Center’s work. The Collaborative brings together faculty, staff, and students from across Grounds with practitioners and community partners to address the world’s pressing humanitarian and development challenges. The Collaborative works with organizational and community partners in interdisciplinary research, advocacy, and policy projects to bridge scholar-practitioner gaps in humanitarian aid. The Office of the Provost’s Strategic Investment Fund, the Center for Global Inquiry and Innovation’s Ruth Young Endowment/Indar-Riyukhe Fund and the Center itself fund the Collaborative.
