Background/History of the Laboratory:
On July 1, 1968,
President Lyndon Johnson issued an Executive Order
establishing the John E. Fogarty International Center for
Advanced Study in the Health Sciences at the National
Institutes of Health. In the 35 years since-the span of a
single generation-support for international biomedical and
behavioral research and research training by the Fogarty
International Center has grown from modest roots laid down at
the outset - FIC's first year budget totaled $500,000-to
a globe-encircling $64 million research, training, and
capacity - building enterprise extending to over 100
countries and involving some 5,000 scientists in the U.S. and
abroad.
Mission of the Laboratory:
The Fogarty
International Center, the international component of the NIH,
addresses global health challenges through innovative and
collaborative research and training programs and supports and
advances the NIH mission through international
partnerships.
