Research Ethics Fellowship Program

[Guest guest]

Announcing: 2002-2003 Research Ethics Fellowship Program at the

Harvard School of Public Health This two-year, non-degree fellowship

is being offered by the Program on Ethical Issues in International

Health Research in the Department of Population and International

Health. The program will support four fellows and is funded by an

International Bioethics Education and Career Development grant from

the Fogarty International Center of the National

Institutes of Health.

Please note that this program is specifically geared toward

individuals from Asia

The Research Ethics Fellowship has two phases:

Phase I: During the first phase (September 2002-June 2003), fellows

will take courses at the Harvard School of Public Health and other

Harvard schools, attend institutional review board meetings, and

participate in a field visit to the Department of Clinical Bioethics

of the Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center at the National

Institutes of Health. Fellows will also develop workshop curricula and

a research project to be completed in their home country during the

second year.

Phase II: During this 12-month period (July 2003-June 2004), fellows

will return to their home institutions to carry out the research

projects and short-courses that have been developed in Phase I.

Following the completion of Phase II, fellows will attend a four-day

regional meeting for the purpose of sharing the results of their

research and planning future collaborations.

The fellowship will include: program-related travel expenses, room,

board, tuition, and health insurance for the 10-month Phase I period.

In addition, funding will be provided for a research project and

program-related travel expenses in the Phase II period.

This fellowship is intended for individuals involved in all areas of

international health research, including medicine, anthropology,

epidemiology, education, journalism, political science, and law;

government, foundation, and industry officials with funding

responsibilities; and members of institutional and governmental review

boards.

Applications are due on March 1, 2002.
