Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars and Fellows (FICRS-F) Program

The FICRS-F Program offered one-year mentored clinical research training experience for doctoral students and post-doctoral candidates in health-related professions from the U.S. and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as defined by the World Bank. All research training sites were established NIH-funded research sites in LMICs, especially in Africa, Asia and South America.

The Scholars Program was designed for doctoral students who demonstrated a strong potential for a career in global health activities and/or clinical research. Eligible applicants were to have advanced standing in a U.S. medical, veterinary or osteopathic school; or enrollment in a doctoral level program at a U.S. school of public health, nursing, dentistry or other school in the health sciences; as well as the support of their home academic institution, including a mentor committed to working with the student after return to the home institution. The Fellows Program was for post-doctoral candidates from the U.S. and LMICs in active health- related programs, including medical residencies and fellowships as well as health scientists with doctorate degrees. The Fellows Program was based on mentored clinical research and orientation towards global health research.

Fulbright-Fogarty Awards in Public Health Fulbright-Fogarty Grants: Postdoctoral Research Grants in Public Health

The Fulbright-Fogarty Awards are offered through a partnership between the Fulbright Program and the Fogarty International Cen- ter of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. These awards were established to promote the expansion of research in public health and clinical research in resource-limited settings. The Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowships were inaugurated in July 2011 with four fellows in sub-Saharan Africa (Botswana, Malawi, and South Africa). Fulbright-Fogarty Awards carry the same benefits as the traditional Fulbright Study/Research grants to the host country. The Fogarty International Center, NIH, will provide support to the research training site and may provide orientation for the fellows at the NIH. The basic requirements and process for applying for the Fulbright-Fogarty Program are the same as for any Fulbright U.S. Student Study/Research Grant.

*Global Health Fellows (GHF) Program: “Fellows” are post-doctoral trainees; “Scholars” are doctoral degree candidates Fulbright-Fogarty Awards & Grants: “Scholars” are post-doctoral trainees; “Fellows” are doctoral degree candidates

The Global Health Equity Scholar (GHES) program brings together a consortium that includes the University of Cali- fornia, Berkeley; Florida International University; Stanford University and Yale University; and 20 affiliated international sites across 16 countries (Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Colombia,Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Nicara- gua, Peru, Russia, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Ukraine and Zimbabwe).

The main objective of the program is to generate a new and young cadre of global health researchers, educators, and professionals who will be prepared to address the new challenges in global health. These may include health challenges that arise from the world's burgeoning human settlements, known as slums, that have developed in urban and rural communities of many low- and middle-income countries. Factors associated with chronic, non- communicable, as well as infectious diseases, environmental health hazards, risks specific to women and children, intentional and unintentional injuries, and mental disorders are potential areas of research that will be supported under this program. Additionally, the program will support research on the challenges of providing accessible and high quality health care services at all levels in resource-limited settings. Interventions that seek to address the management of scarce resources and identify innovative solutions to improving health services, and the evaluation of these interventions, will be supported under this program.

Mr. Wesevich wants to dedicate his career to serving those most in need in sub-Saharan Africa.

Austin WESEVICH Doris Duke Int’l Clinical Re- search Fellow

UNC OB/GYN GLOBAL WOMEN’S HEALTH

Dr. Castillo completed her training in obstetrics and gynecology at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Health & Hospital System in June 2014. She started her training as a Global Women's Health fellow in the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in July 2014. She is obtaining a Masters in Clinical Research through the Gillings School of Global Public Health to prepare her for applying her clinical training to research work. Dr. Castillo's research interests include access to healthcare, high risk and emergency obstetrics, and determining acceptability and adherence to new interventions to prevent preterm birth. She is also working on a team to evaluate the obstetrics and gynecology specialty training at the University of Zambia in order to propose interventions that could advance and expand this training.

Marcela CASTILLO, MD UNC Global Women’s Health Fellow

Dr. Ford is beginning her first year as a UNC Global Women's Health Fellow. She completed medical school in 2011 at NYU and a Master of Public Health in 2010 at Harvard. She has recently completed her obstetrics and gynecology residency training at Thomas Jefferson Universi- ty Hospital in 2015. She has had several global health experiences through her education and training in Ghana, Tanzania, Guatemala and Rwanda. She is excited to be a part of the UNC Fel- lowship to further explore her interests in global public health, specifically with obstetric emer- gencies and improvement of maternal mortality. Through working in Lusaka, Zambia with this program, she will be exposed to both research and clinical experiences that will develop her career as an OB/GYN physician with a focus in global women's health research.
