Graduates of the 28 grantee institutions under the AITRP program have become senior leaders at foreign universities, have applied successfully for grants from NIH and other science funding agencies and have formed the framework for effective public policymaking in their home countries. Many now work closely with the President's Emergency Fund for AIDS Relief and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, a public-private organization that finances infectious disease control. Among the leaders who have received AITRP training are the current or former ministers of health in Rwanda, Uganda and Malawi.
