Many of NIH's 27 Institutes and Centers are engaged in global health activities.
NIH and the Gates Foundation are collaborating to develop affordable gene-based cures for sickle cell disease and HIV.
To help train the next generation of global health leaders, Fogarty provides Fellows and Scholars with collaborative, mentored global health research training opportunities in low- and middle-income countries.
“It’s only by collaborating with partners who understand the local setting that we’ve been able to do anything that really matters - to generate good research that changes people’s lives.”
