  7. Fogarty International CenterScience for Global Health Major Training and Research Sites

  8. Fogarty International CenterScience for Global Health Research Training Mechanisms • Long-term training* pre- and post-doctoral training in U.S. institutions (duration: minimum 9 months) • Short-term training* focused workshops and technology transfer (duration: several days to several weeks) • Research performed preferentially in-country

  9. Fogarty International CenterScience for Global Health Program Objectives • Train leaders in science and public health • Establish centers of excellence in home countries • Promote long-term collaborations between U.S. and foreign institutions • Facilitate outstanding scientific research focused on problems of developing countries • Facilitate trainees assuming positions of responsibility, authority, and influence
