Recent Fogarty program and division evaluations:

International Bioethics

Fogarty supports the development of sound international bioethics policy and global ethical review capacity. It is a co-founder and funder of the Global Forum on Bioethics in Research, which provides a unique platform for stakeholders in health research in the developing world to engage in dialogue about their ethical concerns. It also provides bioethics research training grants to help domestic and foreign institutions to develop training programs in bioethics related to performing research in developing countries. View more information from NIH Bioethics Resources on the Web.

The 2009 edition of the International Compilation of Human Subject Protections lists about 1,100 laws, regulations, and guidelines on human subject protections from 92 countries. This year’s compilation includes listings from 7 new countries: Burma, Egypt, the Gambia, San Marino, South Korea, the Sudan, and Vietnam.

Public Private Partnerships

The DISPPE plays a key role in developing Public Private Partnerships (PPP) as a means for Fogarty to accomplish its public health mission through the development of synergistic relationships with outside entities. More information about Public Private Partnerships at the NIH.
