The Ukraine Fogarty Research Training Workshop took place on March 26-28, 2026, at the Ukrainian Catholic University in Lviv, Ukraine. This dynamic event brought together trainees and faculty from NIH Fogarty International Center training programs focused on HIV, TB, substance use and mental health research, global health, and bioethics.
The workshop convened participants from three D43 training programs:

PIs: Jack Dehovitz & Tetiana Kiriazova
Grant: D43TW012491 - Loyola–Ukrainian Catholic University International Bioethics Research Training Program

PIs: Adam C. Levine & Timothy Flanigan

Over three days, participants engaged in vibrant discussions, shared research, and built professional connections. The workshop fostered collaboration across disciplines and institutions, strengthening a growing network of researchers and professionals dedicated to addressing pressing health challenges in Ukraine.
