John E. Fogarty International Center

The John E. Fogarty International Center (FIC) is a component of the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) dedicated to supporting and facilitating global health research conducted by U.S. and international investigators. The center was established in 1968 and named in honor of John E. Fogarty, a Rhode Island Congressman who was a significant advocate for international health issues.

History

The John E. Fogarty International Center was established in 1968, following the death of its namesake, Congressman John E. Fogarty. Fogarty was known for his commitment to international health issues and his belief in the power of medical research to not only improve health, but also foster diplomacy.

Mission

The mission of the FIC is to support and facilitate global health research conducted by U.S. and international investigators, build partnerships between health research institutions in the U.S. and abroad, and train the next generation of scientists to address global health needs.

Programs

The FIC operates a number of programs aimed at achieving its mission. These include the Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars, which provides opportunities for U.S. and low- and middle-income country (LMIC) scientists to gain research experience in diseases and conditions of global health significance.

Impact

The work of the FIC has had a significant impact on global health. The center's programs have trained thousands of researchers from the U.S. and LMICs, many of whom have gone on to make significant contributions to global health research.
