# Northern/Pacific Universities Global Health Research Training Consortium

> **NIH NIH D43** · UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON · 2020 · $995,154

## Abstract

Our D43 proposal, entitled “Northern Pacific Global Health Research Fellows Training
Consortium” is a consortium of four U.S. universities (the Universities of Hawaii,
Michigan, Minnesota and Washington) with research training partnerships in seven
countries (Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Cameroon, Peru, Thailand and India). The
Consortium will continue to be housed within the Department of Global Health at the
University of Washington. Our Consortium will offer 12-month research training
fellowships with (1) an expedited global research project trajectory, progressing from
development of a research protocol to implementation, analysis of data and publication;
(2) an enhanced mentoring program including a manual of required, specific
commitments and guidelines for mentors and mentees, bimonthly Internet-based
research-in-progress sessions involving all Global Health Fellows with joint participation
of U.S. and international mentors, and institutionalization of mentorship training at
participating institutions; and (3) an “alumni warranty” for trainees, with a potential
second year of fellowship funding for the most promising trainees, short-term return to
country to advance research, assistance launching independent careers through mock
interviews, ongoing mentoring of alumni on applications for new global health grants, an
alumni and mentor network providing posting of new publications, funding and job
opportunities, and participation in cross-consortium Global Health trainee reunions at
global health conferences. The four U.S. universities have each committed matching
funds totaling $575,000 to support additional fellows and a second year of fellowship for
the most productive fellows. This proposal would provide funding for 18 trainees each
year, for a total of 90 trainees.
