How to Join Global Health Research Training Programs: Lessons from EN-RTP
Africa is full of brilliant young scientists ready to make breakthroughs in public health, yet many lack access to structured mentorship and international-standard training. Programs like the Emory Nigeria HIV Research Training Program (EN-RTP) offer a golden opportunity: funding, mentorship, and a structured pathway to become future leaders in global health research.

This blog breaks down what such programs usually look for, and how you can prepare a winning application, no matter the year.
Why Research Training Programs Matter
Global health research training programs don’t just build careers; they build capacity. They give young researchers:
Access to world-class mentors and collaborators.
Funding support (stipends, research budgets, allowances).
Protected time to focus on research.
A clear path to apply for bigger grants (like NIH or Fogarty awards).
