Fogarty's Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars
provides a yearlong mentored clinical research experience
overseas for postdoctoral fellows and pre-doctoral scholars.
Fogarty and its NIH partners are continuing efforts to build a network of U.S. academic institutions to provide early-career physicians, veterinarians, dentists and scientists with a significant mentored research experience in a developing country. Support is planned through Fogarty's Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars, with awards totaling more than $25.9 million over five years to consortia at six U.S. universities.
One award supports a new consortium led by Harvard University, together with Boston University, Northwestern University and University of New Mexico. The remaining awards renew support for consortia led by University of California, Berkeley; University of California, San Francisco; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; University of Washington; and Vanderbilt University.
To participate in the program, students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty from the U.S. or from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) apply through one of the consortia for placement at an LMIC institution. Read profiles of fellows and scholars working around the world on mental health following the Ebola outbreak, point-of-care diagnostics for tuberculosis and HIV, pediatric cardiology, and other pressing global health issues.
The current iteration of the program is based on the success and experience of Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars and Fellows (FICRS-F).
