Each semester, the Center for Global Health teams with the National Institutes of Health's Fogarty International Center to award 12 to 17 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 our most recent award winners for the Spring 2008 semester, with abstracts of their work. Personal accounts of their time overseas will be added as they return from their research experiences.
