N1 - Funding Information:
One of the largest institutions funding this type of education and training is the United States (US) National Institutes of Health (NIH) Fogarty International Center (FIC), dedicated to supporting and facilitating partnerships between health research institutions in the US and LMICs around the globe, and training scientists to address global health needs [1]. FIC has funded 153 global health training programs, including 118 programs that were active as of April 2020 [2]. FIC D43 training programs are funded through peer-reviewed grants and designed to be collaborative, long-term, and flexible to meet the research priorities of both the US and foreign institutions [2]. The training goals of a D43 program include short-, medium-and long-term goals. Short-term training goals are designed to be accomplished in less than three months and are usually composed of faculty-led work-shops or training sessions focused on specific areas of research methods or laboratory skills [3]. Medium-term training goals are designed to be accomplished over three to six months and include components such as working directly with a faculty mentor on a research project and taking non-degree courses to support specif-ic research topics [3]. Long-term training goals are designed to be accomplished over a period of six months or more and can include formal graduate education such as master’s, doctoral, and post-doctoral degree programs related to the training areas needed and public health concerns within trainees’ home countries [3].

N2 - Since January 2020 billions of people across the world have been “locked down” and hundreds of thousands have died because of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The pandemic is creating enormous adverse economic and social consequences throughout the world, with direct and indirect impacts on global health activities - particularly through the participation of health care workers, clinicians, investigators, technologists, and students in research training and educational programs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
