Information
This Fogarty Grant receives 5 years of
support for a pre and postdoctoral training grant from the Fogarty
International Center as part of the ICOHRTA (International Clinical,
Operational, Health Services Research and Training Award) program.
Training in psychiatric epidemiology, nosology, services research and
genetics takes place at the National Institute of Mental Health and
Neurosciences (NIMHANS) in Bangalore, Karnataka, India and allied
institutions in New Delhi, Bangalore and Calcutta and at Washington
University in St. Louis.
Our program is multidisciplinary and
holistic, reflecting the wide range of expertise required for
understanding the complex etiology of psychiatric and behavioral disorders
which contribute significantly to the global burden of disease.
We have support for up to 3 postdoctoral
fellowships (1 – 3 years) at Washington University and 2 postdoctoral
fellowships (up to 1 year) in India where fellows may begin training.
Additionally, we have support for focused training experiences (3 to 8
months) for 3 doctoral students per year. The training program uses an
individualized mentorship model, and trainees are expected to develop and
implement their own research studies. Didactic and individual tutorials
are offered. Each fellow has at least one mentor in the US and India.
After the fellowship is complete, returning trainees are encouraged to continue
their association with mentors in the US and India by applying for reentry
grants. These grants give trainees the opportunity to gain
invaluable research experience and bring that experience back to their
home country to address major global health problems. Reentry grants of up
to $15,000 are available on a competitive basis.
