The Fogarty International Clinical Research Scholars and Fellows Program's goal is to foster the next generation of clinical investigators and to help build international health research partnerships between American and international investigators and institutions. Through June 2012, 61 sites in 27 countries have hosted 436 Scholars (American students or junior trainees from the host countries) and/or 122 Fellows (American and host country postdoctoral fellows) for year-long experiences in global health research. Initially, the program was oriented toward infectious diseases, but recently emphasis on chronic disease research has increased. At least 521 manuscripts have been published, many in high-impact journals. Projects have included clinical trials, observational studies, translational research, clinical-laboratory interface initiatives, and behavioral research. Strengths of the program include training opportunities for American and developing country scientists in well-established international clinical research settings, and mentorship from experienced global health experts.
福格蒂国际临床研究学者和研究员计划的目标是培养下一代临床研究人员，并帮助建立美国和国际研究人员和机构之间的国际卫生研究伙伴关系。截至 2012 年 6 月，27 个国家的 61 个地点已经接待了 436 名学者（来自主办国的美国学生或初级培训生）和/或 122 名研究员（美国和主办国的博士后研究员），进行为期一年的全球卫生研究。该计划最初侧重于传染病，但最近对慢性病研究的重视有所增加。已经发表了至少 521 篇论文，其中许多发表在高影响力的期刊上。项目包括临床试验、观察性研究、转化研究、临床-实验室界面倡议和行为研究。该计划的优势包括为美国和发展中国家的科学家提供在成熟的国际临床研究环境中培训的机会，并得到经验丰富的全球卫生专家的指导。
