Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars and Fellows (FICRSF) 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.

Doris Duke International Clinical Research Fellowship

The Doris Duke International Clinical Research Fellowship (ICRF) is designed to encourage medical students to pursue clinical research careers by exposing them to exciting research opportunities in developing countries. The ICRF program is a year-long opportunity for current medical students to conduct international clinical research in a resource-constrained country. Students who are matriculated at any U.S.-based medical school are eligible for the ICRF. Students who participate in the ICRF program will take a year off from medical school to conduct international clinical research under the direction of a mentor working in global health. The student takes primary responsibility for initiating and conducting the study.

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

The Global Health Equity Scholars (GHES) program brings together a consortium that includes the University of Cal- ifornia, Berkeley; Florida International University; Stanford University; and Yale University; and 31 affiliated international sites across 23 countries (Bangladesh, Barbados, Colombia, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Malaysia, Malawi, Mozambique, Nepal, Nicaragua, Peru, Samoa, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Toba- go, Uganda, Ukraine, Zambia, 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 LMIC. Factors associated with chronic, non-communicable, as well as HIV/STI, and other infectious diseases, environmental health hazards, risks specific to women and children, intentional and unintentional injuries, and mental health 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. Also included is research on interventions that seek to address the management of scarce resources and identify innovative solutions to improving health services, and the evaluation of these interventions.
