Global Health ATL Initiatives

 

Global Health ATL has created Tiger Teams is to focus on a specific global health project and drive the project forward. Tiger teams are a concept originally employed by NASA. It is a diversified group of experts brought together for a single project, need, or event. They are usually assigned to investigate, solve, build, or recommend possible solutions to unique situations or problems. They are almost always populated with mature experts who know what's at stake, what needs to be done, and how to work well with others.
