One Health Investigations of Outbreaks and Spillover Events
One Health is the concept that human, animal and environmental health are interconnected. Outbreaks of zoonoses, vector-borne diseases, or those related to contamination of the environment are best investigated using a multi-disciplinary One Health approach. Outbreaks of emerging zoonotic infectious diseases where infections in multiple species – from humans, to livestock, to wildlife – may only be well understood if a One Health approach is used. Investigations of spillover events – where a human or new animal species has been infected by a virus, bacteria, or parasite – also require a One Health approach. Beyond infectious diseases, the environment can be contaminated by heavy metals, industrial pollution and other toxins, which can pose a risk to both human and animal health. In order to protect human and animal health from these threats, One Health approaches can be integrated into outbreak investigations and spillover investigations to improve our mechanistic understanding of their proximal and distal causes leading to insights about how they can be prevented.

Design Research para Estratégia e Inovação
Nossas boas-vindas ao Curso Design Research para Estratégia e Inovação. Neste curso, você aprenderá sobre os principais elementos da Design Research (DR) aplicada à geração de inovação e estratégia. Tal método é fundamental para a criação de produtos, serviços e sistemas que atendam às necessidades humanas. No entanto, apesar de sua utilidade, a DR é amplamente negligenciada por muitas instituições e executivos. A DR, em essência, orienta as equipes para descobrir insights e desenvolver experiências de usuário que gerem valor. Por meio dos métodos de Design Thinking, na DR, começa-se com o estudo rigoroso das pessoas. Passe-se, então, ao desenvolvimento de protótipos e testes. Para isso, pesquisas qualitativas e quantitativas são necessárias. Ao final deste curso, você aprenderá, inicialmente, que a primeira etapa no processo de design é encontrar oportunidades por meio do melhor e mais profundo entendimento sobre as pessoas. Designers centrados no ser humano fazem isso imergindo-se no contexto dos usuários para identificar áreas de foco para inovação. Para tanto, você será capaz de desenvolver pesquisas quantitativas e qualitativas para compreender as pessoas. Mas como aproveitamos as oportunidades que descobrimos e definimos boas estratégias? Neste curso, exploraremos também a ideação, o esboço e o storyboard como ferramentas para gerar ideias testáveis. Com este curso, você também será capaz de construir protótipos. É mais comum pensar em protótipos como somente "rascunhos" do design final. Porém, neste curso você entenderá como pensar em protótipos de uma maneira mais profunda: como instrumentos de aprendizagem organizacional. Para isso, apresentaremos abordagens para maximizar a intensidade do aprendizado com os protótipos. Por fim, como você traz inovação em design para sua organização e a sustenta ao longo do tempo? Neste curso, aprenderemos teorias e técnicas práticas para ajudá-lo a liderar uma organização que produz rotineiramente produtos, serviços, modelos de gestão e sistemas inovadores. Este curso é composto por quatro módulos, disponibilizados em semanas de aprendizagem. Cada módulo é composto por vídeos, leituras e testes de verificação de aprendizagem. Ao final de cada módulo, temos uma avaliação de verificação dos conhecimentos. Estamos muito felizes com sua presença neste curso e esperamos que você tire o máximo de proveito dos conceitos aqui apresentados. Bons estudos!
