Center for Global Health Equity

Fogarty’s training programs in Ukraine face profound challenges due to the ongoing war. Yet in late March, Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) hosted a three-day workshop in Lviv on HIV and mental health research, epidemiology, and bioethics. The meeting brought together Fogarty trainees, faculty, and other partners who remain dedicated to building rigorous, ethical, and local research capacity in the embattled country.

At the Humanitarian Futures Forum 2025 in Singapore, Dr. Adam Levine, Associate Dean of Global Health Equity at Brown University, spoke on strengthening civil–military partnerships in disaster response.
