“…The GRAND South Network goal is to combat non-communicable diseases at local and global levels by conducting innovative research to identify, understand, and overcome barriers to the adoption, adaptation, integration, scale-up and sustainability of evidence-based interventions and policies. Second, Emory University has led development of the Network of U.S. Investigators in Global Non-communicable Diseases which targets US academic institution investigators 34 and launched The Atlanta Declaration: A 21 st Century Vision for U.S.-based Global NCD Research with the goal of creatively supporting the next generation of scientists in the global NCD arena through larger and sustained investments in global NCD research and encouraging non-tradition career paths that achieve innovation. 35 Finally, much of the initial work for the creation of a cardiac care unit and division in Kenya was facilitated by the energy and attention that the Kenya NHLBI COE program fostered.…”

“…This reflected a trend in global health research investments and priorities of the NIH institutes, centers, and offices that invested into the program, toward more global NCD research that is likely to continue into the future. 12,13 Our productivity impact evaluation has strengths and limitations. Our findings benefit from prospective collection of much of the data and from PubMed, which does not depend on responses from or perceptions of Program alumni.…”

Abstract. In the Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars and Fellows (FICRS-F) Program, 536 U.S. and international doctoral and postdoctoral health profession students and trainees completed 1-year research training at research centers in low-and middle-income countries. To evaluate the Program's impact, we analyzed data gathered prospectively during the Program, from PubMed, and from a representative survey of alumni. Of 100 randomly selected respondents, 94 returned the survey. Reflecting the sources of funding, human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome was the focus of 47% of the projects, but research in noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and dual infection/NCD-related topics increased over time. Among the first 1,617 alumni publications, output was associated positively with being an international versus U.S. trainee, a postdoctoral Fellow versus predoctoral Scholar, and accumulation of more years post-training (all P < 0.001). Fellows were first author on a higher proportion of their articles than were Scholars (P < 0.001), and U.S. trainees were more often first author than international trainees (P = 0.04). Survey respondents had submitted 117 grant applications, and 79 (67.5%) had been funded. The FICRS-F Program yielded substantial research productivity in the early post-training years. Research outputs and impact will increase over time as alumni careers mature and they gain research independence and assume leadership positions.

“…Specific action items emerged from this conference. 4 As evidence of impact from the symposium, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases and the National Cancer Institute subsequently issued requests for applications for NCD research, spearheaded by representatives of those institutes who participated in the symposium.…”

Abstract. As demand for global health research training continues to grow, many universities are striving to meet the needs of trainees in a manner complementary to research priorities of the institutions hosting trainees, while also increasing capacity for conducting research. We provide an overview of the first 4 years of the Global Health Program for Fellows and Scholars, a collaboration of 20 U.S. universities and institutions spread across 36 low-and middleincome countries funded through the National Institutes of Health Fogarty International Center. We highlight many aspects of our program development that may be of interest to other multinational consortia developing global health research training programs.
