From 2002 through 2009 the UCSF-GIVI CFAR collaborated with the Fogarty International Scientist Training Program at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health to support new investigators in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
Our current International Mentored Scientist Award Program is designed to fund similar activities.

Training in Clinical Research: Minimizing HIV Infection of the Blood Supply in Resource-Limited Countries
Training in Clinical Research: Minimizing HIV Infection of the Blood Supply in Resource-Limited Countries
Abstract
In North America and Europe, research in epidemiology contributes to maintaining high levels of blood safety from HIV and other transfusion-transmitted infectious diseases (TTIs), but such research is less developed in low/moderate income countries. We developed a 2-week, in-country research training to review current topics in transfusion medicine research and provide practical training in clinical research methods. The 2-week course is intended for professionals already working in blood transfusion who wish to pursue clinical research.
