Sustained investment in the next generation of researchers is essential to maintaining this critical global health science capacity. This original article examines factors associated with the Fogarty International Center\u2019s (FIC) research training programs that produce independent global health researchers.\nObjectives: To examine factors within the FIC\u2019s research training programs that are associated with the successful production of independent global health scientists and to evaluate the long\u2011term impact of the programs on alumni careers.\nMethods: This analysis synthesizes evidence from two cross\u2011sectional surveys of FIC program trainees spanning the years 2003\u20132021. The surveys collected data from 717 and 690 alumni (with a 58% and 56% response rate, respectively). The analysis incorporates training experiences, career trajectories, and factors that influence professional independence, productivity, and research commitment.\nFindings: The analysis shows the program has successfully supported and expanded the global health research workforce. Sixty\u2011two percent (62%) of alumni have careers in academia and 59% are actively working in research. Respondents consistently noted the importance of mentoring, protected research time, and robust professional networks contributing to a successful fellowship experience. The program has effectively stimulated interest, enlisted new partners, and addressed workforce development needs in global health research among early\u2011career professionals in public health and medicine.\nConclusions: FIC\u2019s research training programs are a successful model for developing the global health research workforce. Sustained training that emphasizes strong mentorship, dedicated research time, and collaborative partnerships is critical for fostering professional development and maximizing the long\u2011term impact on global health equity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5334\/aogh.5223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T11:38:21Z","timestamp":1787139501000},"page":"81","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Two Decades of Fogarty Training: Nurturing Global Health Scientists"],"prefix":"10.5334","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"Celia","family":"Wolfman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"UnJa","family":"Hayes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roger I.","family":"Glass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter H.","family":"Kilmarx","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachel","family":"Sturke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3285","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chang CM, Yu KJ, Mbulaiteye SM, Hildesheim A, Bhatia K.
