Abstract

The Fogarty International Center (FIC) is a pioneer in the arena of global health research capacity development. Over two decades, FIC funded training programs have generated thousands of scientists that are currently leaders in health research around the world. Despite these successes, FIC doesn´t have a systematic way to track its trainees and measure the impact of its training on the research capacity of the trainee´s country. To address this issue, FIC developed an innovative Web-based trainee tracking tool - CareerTrac. The goal of this system is to create a complete trainee roster for all FIC research training programs and to monitor outputs, outcomes and impacts of FIC international trainees.
