Project Description
The HBNU Fogarty Global Health Training Program, a consortium of Harvard University, Boston University, Northwestern University and the University of New Mexico, will continue to contribute to global health research capacity building and the use of research to improve health outcomes related to priority health areas in resource-limited settings in partnership with 21 sites throughout Africa, Asia, and South America. The Program will recruit trainees from the United States and international trainees to strengthen global health research networks and programs at academic institutions and ultimately help sustain global health research in the US and abroad.
This program strengthens America’s health and preparedness by expanding the nation’s capacity for world-class biomedical research and reinforcing critical global health partnerships. By training US and international scientists to tackle major health challenges such as infectious and chronic diseases, and maternal and child health, the Program ensures the United States remains at the forefront of preventing, detecting, and responding to health threats that can impact the American people.
The findings, skills, and best practices generated will inform domestic research and public health policies, enhance the nation’s response capabilities, and ensure that federal investments yield maximum impact—advancing the mission of improving and protecting the health of Americans.
