The German Alliance for Global Health Research (GLOHRA) is an initiative to promote networking and strengthen global health research in Germany. It is an association of global health researchers from all disciplines affiliated with public research institutions across Germany.

The elected Steering Committee guides the strategic vision and is the key decision making body of GLOHRA. The GLOHRA Secretariat is hosted by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. Launched in February 2020, GLOHRA is supported by funds from the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF).
