Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars Program

I call your attention to an exciting clinical research training
experience for doctoral-level U.S. students in the health professions,
the Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars Program. The FICRS
program offers a one-year clinical research training experience to
advanced standing students in U.S. schools of medicine, public health,
osteopathy, dentistry, nursing, veterinary medicine, optometry,
nutrition and pharmacy.

This is an opportunity for highly motivated individuals to experience
mentored research training at top-ranked NIH-funded research centers in
developing countries throughout Africa, Asia, South America, and the
Caribbean.

FICRS is sponsored by the NIH's Fogarty International Center (FIC) in
partnership with 15 NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices. FICRS is
administered by the FICRS-F Support Center at Vanderbilt University, the
Association of American Medical Colleges, and the Association of Schools
of Public Health.

The deadline to apply for the program is December 3, 2009.
