The U.S. government should devote more resources to global health research, according to two Fogarty advisory board members. Speaking on Capitol Hill recently, Dr. Sten Vermund, director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Global Health (right) and Dr. Peter Hotez, president of the Sabin Vaccine Institute, spoke out for more spending on health research in developing countries.

The briefing was convened by Research!America.
