Fogarty Scholar

Background

The Fogarty Scholars Program was created in response to a recommendation in The Report of the External Advisory Panel to Review the NIH/FIC International Program (1997). The purpose of the program is to integrate the Fogarty Scholars-in-Residence Program more closely with trans-NIH and intramural activities.

The new program differs from the former program in that :

1) the nominations process will be broadened to include recommendations from Chairs of Special Interest Groups as well as from IC Directors;

2) funding for Scholars will derive from one or more ICs; and

3) any appropriate appointment mechanism may be used to support Scholars, including an FTE-bearing position or contract support.

Definition

A Fogarty Scholar is an honorific designation for the most distinguished visiting scientists. The purpose of the program is to invite world-renowned scientists to serve at NIH for a period of one year. One explicit review criterion will be the extent of a scientist's association with one or more Special Interest Groups.
IC Responsibilities

ICs must provide necessary resources to effect a successful assignment, including office space and support.
Nomination Process

Nominations may be submitted at any time to the Office of Intramural Research (OIR).
