Seattle-India Joint Research Training Program
Established in 2006, the Seattle-India Joint Research Training Program "Research Training on Intracellular Pathogens" is funded by the Fogarty International Center to provide promising Indian Ph.D. students and postdoctoral scientists with advanced training opportunities. The program is aimed at enhancing research and training on intracellular pathogens and the diseases they cause, with an emphasis on malaria, leishmaniasis, and tuberculosis through advanced training opportunities for Ph.D. students, postdoctoral scientists and junior faculty such as fellowships and training workshops.
Fellowships
Fellowships will be funded for 1-2 years to train on collaborative projects at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) or the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) and a laboratory at the University of Washington (UW) or Seattle BioMed.
Workshops
Specialized, in-country workshops include bioinformatics training, research proposal/project development, round-table discussions on research ethics and laboratory management, and lectures on current research and technologies by GID consortium faculty from Seattle and Delhi.
