Award Spotlight
Fulbright-Fogarty Fellowships in Public Health

These awards were established to promote the expansion of research in public health and clinical research in resource-limited settings.

- The program is designed for candidates who are currently enrolled in medical school or in a graduate-level program and who are interested in global health. 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.
