Fogarty International Center Fellowships: Who Qualifies and What You Get
This fellowship provides training and research funding for global health professionals based in low- and middle-income countries.
This program provides specialized training and research funding for researchers working on global health projects.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically designed for researchers residing and working in low- and middle-income countries. It is aimed at professionals who are looking to advance their expertise and contribute to clinical evidence through global research initiatives.
What you get
Successful applicants receive funding to support their professional development and research activities. This support is focused on global health projects, providing the necessary resources to conduct research and undergo specialized training to expand your professional capabilities in the field.
What it costs you
While there is no direct fee mentioned to participate, the application process requires a significant commitment of time and resources to establish a formal connection with a US-based partner institution. You cannot apply as a completely independent individual without this specific institutional connection.
The catch to know
The biggest hurdle for most individual applicants is the partnership requirement. You must successfully secure a partnership with a research institution located in the United States to be eligible for the fellowship. Without this established link to a US institution, you will not be able to move forward with your application.
How to apply
- Verify that you meet the residency and professional criteria for researchers in low- and middle-income countries.
- Identify a suitable research institution based in the United States to act as your required partner.
- Coordinate with your US partner to align your research and training goals.
- Prepare your detailed research and training proposals.
