Framework Program in Global Health: Grant Recipients

Framework Program in Global Health: Fall 2006
Each semester, the Center for Global Health teams with the National Institutes of Health's Fogarty International Center to award 12 to 15 students a Framework Program in Global Health fellowship. These awards are given to undergraduate and graduate Hopkins students to help support an international research experience. Each student works with a faculty mentor to complete their projects. Below is a list of the award winners for the Fall 2006 semester, with abstracts of their work, and, in some cases, personal accounts of their experiences abroad.
