Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-09) is excited to announce that the Oakland-based Public Health Institute (PHI) has been selected to receive $209.5 million in “cooperative agreement” funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
The award is nearly twice as large as previous USAID agreements, and will provide PHI the financial resources necessary for it to continue its effort to create a large, sustainable and diverse pool of talented global health professionals for the Global Health Fellows Program.
“It is with great pride that I announce this funding for the Public Health Institute,” said Congresswoman Barbara Lee. “This award is well-deserved and is reflective of the fine work that is being done by the Public Health Institute to create the next generation of global health professionals.”
