About the Fellows and Scholars / LAUNCH Program

The Fellows and Scholars Program aims to foster the next generation of global health scientists by providing trainees, early in their careers, a one-year mentored research training experience at established biomedical and behavioral research institutions and project sites in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as opportunities for post-professional trainees from the U.S. and LMICs.
