We received a Fogarty International Research Fellowship award for one
year which concludes in about 8 weeks.  Although the brochure
distributed by the Fogarty Center indicates that extensions are not
available, the Fellow and his mentor on their own wrote a letter
about 4 weeks ago to the Fogarty Center requesting an additional year
of funding.  Not surprisingly, we've not yet had a response.  Before
we call them, I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who's had a Fogarty
award -- have you been able to get extensions?  And, if yes, were you
able to accomplish it as informally as these two have tried to do?

Thanks for your help.
