Fulbright-Fogarty Public Health Fellowship Award in Ghana

The Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowships in Public Health are offered through a partnership between the Fulbright Program and the Fogarty International Center of the U.S. National Institutes of Health. These awards were established to promote the expansion of research in public health and clinical research in resource-limited settings. Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowships carry the same benefits as the traditional Fulbright Study/Research grants to the host country. The Fogarty International Center, NIH, provides support to the research training site and may provide orientation for the fellows at the NIH. This specific award is for doctoral-level students in public health and related fields to conduct 6-9 months of research training in Ghana at various host institutions including the University of Ghana, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, and other leading medical research facilities. Fellows work with U.S. and Ghanaian mentors on research projects in areas such as maternal and child health, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, mental health, nutrition, and injury prevention.
