Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars Program Seeks Applicants

[AAMCglobal]

I call your attention to an exciting clinical research training experience for graduate level U.S. students in the health professions, the Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars Program.

The program offers a one-year clinical research training experience to advanced standing students in U.S. medical, osteopathic, or dental school; or students enrolled in doctoral level programs at U.S. schools of public health, optometry, nursing, pharmacy, or veterinary medicine.

This is an opportunity for highly motivated individuals to experience mentored research training at top-ranked NIH funded research centers in a diverse group of countries, including Bangladesh, Botswana, Brazil, China, Haiti, India, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Peru, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, and Zambia.

The program is sponsored by the NIH's Fogarty International Center (FIC) in partnership with the NIH Office of the Director, NIH National Cancer Institute, the NIH National Institute on Drug Abuse, the NIH National Institute of Mental Health, the NIH National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the NIH National Institute of Nursing Research, the NIH National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, the NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the NIH National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the NIH Office of AIDS Research.

The program is administered by Vanderbilt University, the Association of American Medical Colleges, and the Association of Schools of Public Health.

The deadline to apply for the program is December 5, 2008
