July 1st, 2013 - Through the Paul S. Lietman Johns Hopkins Medicine International Scholarships, JHI supports international students attending The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. On this date, JHI's contribution increased to $160,000 to support four students. (Ultimately, JHI is committed to ongoing annual contributions of $320,000.)

JHI also funds a global health care fellowship awarded to a recently trained physician addressing a clinical problem that has global impact. Matthew Burkey, M.D., was the first recipient in 2012. He uses the award to investigate cross-cultural validation assessments of early childhood mental disorders, ADHD, and prevention of childhood mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries. Neonatologist Azadeh Farzin became the second fellow on this date. She is engaged in research validating novel biomarkers of sepsis in newborns and young infants.
