NPGH trainees are required to have a primary U.S. mentor from one of the universities within the NPGH consortium and a primary LMIC mentor at the approved research site where they will conduct their study. Provided trainees meet those requirements, they may also have mentors on their team from any other institution.

For those in need of fellowship mentor(s), we first suggest reaching out to your existing networks. Following that, the tool below can be used as a starting place for broadening the search. This tool is not intended to provide an exhaustive list of possibilities, and applicants are not required to have a mentor from this list.

If you are unable to find an appropriate mentor using either your existing networks or this list, please contact us at least one month before the application deadline to request assistance. In your email, please include your CV, a brief synopsis of your research interest or proposal idea, and the name(s) of any mentors already on your team.

With that information, our team will research potential options, though we may not be able to identify a potential mentor for every request. In the cases where we are able to make an introduction, the applicant is then responsible for contacting the potential mentor for further discussion.

Mentorship is a key component of the Global Health Research training program. As most successful global health researchers have benefited from careful mentorship throughout the course of their careers, we will be emphasizing the establishment and the cultivation of strong mentorship for all trainees in this program. The purpose of this page is to provide our vision on mentorship and share some essential documents including mentorship compact and mentor encounter form. By reviewing links we have provided below, you can get acquainted with all details regarding mentorship with NPGH fellows.

Overview:

In the spring of 2013, we created a Mentorship Development program to institutionalize mentorship in LMIC countries. The program includes workshops, readings and online resources, and regional conversations about culturally relevant mentorship. The primary objective of the program is to provide junior faculty and post-doctoral trainees with skills and knowledge to develop into mentors.

Our first “Mentoring the Mentors” workshops were hosted in Kenya and Peru in the early summer of 2013 and provided nearly 65 mentors with training on the fundamentals of global health mentorship. The agenda and resources from the meetings are posted below.

These Fogarty alumni went on to encourage mentorship at their institutions through the Clayton-Dedonder Global Health Fellows Program in 2013-2014.
