BALTIMORE, March 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ The Global Virus Network (GVN), a coalition of the world s leading medical virology research centers working to prevent illness and death from viral disease, today announced the donation of US$1 million to support GVN s Academy, an initiative that fosters global collaborations by providing training and mentoring programs for rising junior virologists. With the new funds, GVN launches the GVN Postdoctoral Fellowship Program and the GVN Rising Star Program. The charitable contribution is especially meaningful as the GVN marks ten years since top virologists from more than a dozen countries ratified their participation in, and support of, the then newly created GVN at the inaugural meeting held March 1-3, 2011 at the Embassy of Italy in Washington, D.C.
