A half century of Fogarty’s global health research and training accomplishments were celebrated May 1, as more than 500 NIH leaders, researchers, advocates and trainees gathered from around the world to mark the Center’s establishment in 1968.
Part scientific symposium, part family reunion, the day was devoted to a review of progress in the development of research capacity in low- and middle-income countries, Fogarty's role in advancing science to reduce death and disability, and an exploration of new frontiers of global health research ripe for future exploration.
