I would like to enroll in GHES, but cannot commit 8 months to living abroad. Am I still eligible?
No, one of the main requirements of the GHES program is that trainees must train in the LMIC where they plan to carry out their research plan for 8 to 10 months during the fellowship.
I am affiliated with a US institution other than one of the four GHES, am I eligible to apply?
Unless you are affiliated to one of the four participating GHES institutions, and have support from a GHES mentor, you are not eligible to apply. We will revisit the possibility of adding other eligible institutions to our list with our funder in the future. The link to other Fogarty-sponsored consortia can be found here.
