Evaluation: Division of International Epidemiology and Population Studies (DIEPS)

A review committee assessed the status and future trajectory of the Fogarty International Center (FIC) Division of International Epidemiology and Population Studies (DIEPS), based on an extended videoconference with DIEPS and FIC staff and reading of associated background papers and bibliometric analyses. Groups of reviewers then drafted assessments of the four individual programs and recommendations for future directions in research, training, and outreach.

Summary

The review committee found that the current combined trajectories of the DIEPS programs both justify their excellent reputation and reflect a vibrant and unique contribution to the overall mission of FIC. The committee also made suggestions of areas for future development. These recommendations are summarized below for each individual program, grouped under the following headings: research directions; program size and networking; training, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
