Fulbright-Fogarty Public Health Fellowship Award in Jamaica

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, will provide support to the research training site and may provide orientation for the fellows at the NIH. Fellows work with U.S. and Jamaica-based mentor groups to develop independent research projects that can be integrated into areas such as non-communicable diseases, sickle cell, metabolism, nutrition, or plant biotechnology. The fellowship provides a 10-month research experience in Jamaica, primarily at the University of the West Indies, with flexible start dates between September and March.
