The Fogarty International Center, with support from The Ellison Medical Foundation, is offering a one year clinical research training experience for graduate level U.S. students in the health professions. This is an opportunity for highly motivated individuals to experience mentored research training at top-ranked NIH-funded research centers in developing countries. Africa, Asia and the Americas are regions of the world that, if accepted, you may find yourself experiencing.

This program is designed primarily for students meeting all of the following qualifications:

• A strong interest in, and potential for, a career in international health activities and/or clinical research.
  
• Advanced standing in a U.S. medical or osteopathic school; or enrollment in a doctoral level program at a U.S. school of public health, nursing or dentistry. Applicants must have strong academic records and must be U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents. Medical and osteopathic students must have completed their basic science courses and one year of clinical clerkship; public health doctoral students must have completed their coursework and passed their qualifying exams prior to the beginning of the fellowship.
  
• Support of their home academic institution, including a committed mentor.

Each fellowship will be for a one year period. The term will begin with an extensive orientation program on the NIH campus in Bethesda, MD in July 2004. This will be followed by approximately 11 months of intense research training at the foreign site.
