The Institute for Inclusive Security uses research, training, and advocacy to promote the inclusion of all stakeholders, especially women, in peace processes. To achieve this mission, Inclusive Security staff members work with a global network of well over 1,000 women leaders from more than 40 conflict regions; conduct research that gives policymakers new strategies to drive inclusion; provide leaders training in the specialized skills and knowledge to direct local, national, and international peacebuilding, and advocate to high-level policymakers for change that makes peace processes more broad-based, and thus sustainable. Inclusive Security is a growing, cutting edge program with an annual budget of $3M and 20 staff members.

Global Viral Forecasting Initiative (GVFI) is a entrepreneurial, cutting edge leader in conducting infectious disease research throughout central Africa and Southeast Asia.  GVFI was initially incubated ten years ago at Johns Hopkins University, and subsequently at the University of Los Angeles.  In 2008, GVFI secured a series of private investments from high profile philanthropic institutions including the Skoll Foundation and Google.org. As a result of these investments, two years ago GVFI became its own independent non-profit organization. Featured in publications including National Geographic, Scientific American and the New York Times, GVFI is the leader in this emerging sector.  The organization’s profound research and dynamic team has led to tremendous organizational growth.  GVFI is preparing to conduct a highly intensive strategic planning process and launch an ambitious sustainability plan for the next phase of the organization’s growth.  For more information visit www.gvfi.org

Practice Greenhealth is the nation’s leading membership and networking organization for institutions in the healthcare community that have made a commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly practices. Members include hospitals, healthcare systems, businesses and other stakeholders engaged in the greening of healthcare to improve the health of patients, staff and the environment.
