Global/Public Health

Fulbright-Fogarty Awards offered in partnership between the Fulbright Program and the Fogarty International Center of the NIH were established to promote the expansion of research in public health and clinical research in resource-limited settings. Locations include Botswana, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Peru, South Africa, Thailand, Uganda, and Zambia. All awards are for nine months at the overseas site. U.S. students who are currently enrolled in medical school or a graduate-level program and who are interested in global health can apply.

The basic requirements and process for applying for the Fulbright-Fogarty Program are the same as for any Fulbright U.S. Student Study/Research Grant.

National Institutes of Health (NIH)

National Institutes of Health Graduate Partnership Program
The NIH Graduate Partnerships Program (GPP) allows participants to take advantage of the best of two worlds: the academic environment of a university and the breadth and depth of research at the NIH. The goal is to create a different kind of graduate experience, one that focuses on training the next generation of scientific leaders by emphasizing communication and collaboration skills, integration of information, and interdisciplinary investigation.

National Institutes of Health Undergraduate Scholarship Program
The NIH Undergraduate Scholarship Program offers competitive scholarships to students from disadvantaged backgrounds who are committed to careers in biomedical, behavioral and social science health-related research. The program is designed to improve access to education leading to research careers for those who have had fewer opportunities than others, and is designed to provide an incentive for exceptional scholars to pursue research careers at the NIH.
