PROJECT SUMMARY On behalf of the six Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars consortia, the UCGHI GloCal Health Fellowship is requesting funding for the five-day 2021 Orientation and Training for new fellows. This key meeting at the beginning of the fellowship year provides trainees with valuable preparation on a wide range of subjects in order to assist them in having a successful fellowship and career in global health. It also gives trainees in all consortia the opportunity to meet others working in the same region and/or on similar research topics as themselves, as well as to get to know fellows/staff/PIs in their own consortium, Fogarty staff, and directors and staff from diverse NIH institutes.

PROJECT NARRATIVE The annual Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars Orientation and Training is an essential week of learning and networking that helps launch Fogarty trainees into a successful fellowship year contributing to improvements in global health in low- and middle-income countries around the world.
