The Fogarty International Center's new strategic plan intensifies focus on chronic non-communicable diseases

In recognition that chronic disease is not only a concern for "developed countries" the NIH's "Fogarty International Center's" new strategic plan intensifies focus on chronic non-communicable diseases while continuing to address the unfinished infectious diseases agenda. Five goals give Fogarty renewed momentum in our mission to support global health research, build partnerships between U.S. and foreign research institutions and train the next generation of scientists to address the world's compelling research needs. The Goals are:
Address the growing epidemic of chronic, non-communicable diseases
Bridge the implementation research training gap
Develop human capital in developing world
Foster a sustainable research environment in low- and middle-income countries
Build strategic alliances and funding partnerships
