Fulbright-Fogarty Public Health Fellowship Award - Nepal

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, with the Fogarty International Center, NIH, providing support to the research training site and orientation for fellows at the NIH. Fellows conduct a 10-month research project in Nepal starting in mid-July. The program requires fellows to be enrolled in accredited doctoral-level programs in public health or related health fields, including medicine, nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and other health professions. Fellows must have completed their 3rd year of medical/professional school or post-qualifying exam requirements for PhD candidates. Research projects must align with public health priorities and be conducted with partner institutions in Nepal. Health-related research must be approved by the Nepal Health Research Council and cannot involve direct patient contact.
