Welcome
Since its inception in 2017, The HBNU Fogarty Global Health Fellowship has been dedicated to fostering the next generation of leaders in various fields. We are proud to have supported over 130 fellows, providing them with invaluable resources and opportunities to excel. Our extensive network of over 200 mentors and site directors has played a crucial role in this success, offering guidance, expertise, and support to our fellows. These accomplishments reflect our commitment to creating a thriving community of professionals equipped to make meaningful contributions to their respective fields of research.
Sponsored by the Fogarty International Center (FIC) and several collaborating Institutes and Centers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the HBNU program brings together a consortium that includes Harvard University, Boston University, Northwestern University, and University of New Mexico, in collaboration with 21 partner institutions in low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs).
The HBNU Fogarty Global Health Fellowship offers 12-month mentored research fellowships in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) designed to address some of the world’s most pressing health challenges.
The program directly responds to the NIH-Fogarty International Center’s call to support capacity building in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) and the United States to train the next generation of public health innovators and leaders.
The Program aims to train and prepare a new cadre of health professionals in the U.S. and LMICs dedicated to research, health services, and academic careers. Specifically, it aims to enhance the trainees’ abilities to independently plan, implement, and assess innovative clinical or implementation research focused on reducing mortality and morbidity associated with: HIV/AIDS and associated co-infections, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) including cardiovascular disease and diabetes, mental health, and maternal and child health and nutrition (MCHN).
Program Leadership
The program has four Multiple Principal Investigators (MPIs) and they have complementary but distinct skill sets, backgrounds, and leadership qualities. They have successfully worked together on the HBNU Fogarty Global Health Training Program since its inception.
They are responsible for monitoring the overall progress of the HBNU program, including setting strategic direction, ensuring high-quality mentorship, and supporting a rich training environment that propels high-quality trainee research outputs.
