During the annual orientation and training of the Fogarty Fellows and Scholars, NIH Director Dr. Francis S. Collins offered advice to the early-career scientists. About 100 trainees will spend a year conducting a mentored research project in a low- or middle-income country. Topics of interest varied widely from gender-based violence and mental health, to cancer and cardiovascular disease, to infectious diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria and HIV/AIDS.
