Fulbright-Fogarty Public Health Fellowship Award in Peru

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 9-month fellowship in Peru provides doctoral-level students and health professionals the opportunity to conduct public health research at premier institutions including Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia (UPCH), Universidad Católica San Pablo, and various research consortia focusing on areas such as infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, malaria, HIV, tuberculosis, maternal and child health, mental health, climate change impacts on health, and neuroscience. Fellows receive a monthly stipend, travel benefits, health insurance, and comprehensive orientation programs both in the U.S. and Peru.
