Mentors | Global Health Fellows

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 other institutions. This list is a resource for applicants to find potential mentors for their Fogarty study. Applicants are not required to choose a mentor from this list. If you are unable to find an appropriate mentor using this list, please contact Roopa Sriram at ghfprgm@uw.edu for further assistance.

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.
