Project Description

The Fogarty African Bioethics Post-Doctoral Fellowship Program (FAB-PDF) is an 18-month advanced bioethics postdoctoral training program for scholars from sub-Saharan Africa who hold a bioethics-related PhD. This program is a collaboration between Johns Hopkins University (USA), Makerere University (Uganda), and University of Oxford (UK) in which 10 select postdocs will spend modular, dedicated time in each institution, and in their home African institution, completing coursework, scholarly writing projects, a global health ethics leadership project, and participating in informal and formal global bioethics professional networks.

By leveraging our experience and longstanding commitments along with well-developed institutional relationships, we offer this highly collaborative post-doctoral training program to further advance the analytic thinking, visibility, leadership capacity, and professional networks of the top doctorally-trained bioethics scholars from sub-Saharan Africa.
