ISID Scientific Exchange Fellowship Program

[Guest guest]

About the ISID Scientific Exchange Fellowship Program

The ISID Scientific Exchange Fellowship Program was established in

1992 to promote collaboration among researchers in different

countries by enabling infectious disease researchers in the formative

stage of their career to extend their research experience in

institutions outside of their region. These awards are not restricted

to physicians and are intended to support young scientists from

developing countries in updating their knowledge of new, relevant

laboratory techniques or in learning specific skills and techniques.

Proposals that enhance the transfer of technologies to geographical

areas where they are particularly needed will be favored.

Applicants are to be investigators (younger than 40 years) already

working in a research area, but who have not had the opportunity to

work or to study outside their countries or region.

Proposals will be reviewed by members of the Professional Development

Working Group and decisions made in collaboration with the President

and the Program Director. Funding will be provided for up to 3 months

and up to US$7,500.

Upon completion of the project, a written report of the project must

be sent to the Society. The Society encourages recipients of grants

to present their results at scientific meetings and to submit them

for publication in peer-reviewed journals.

Deadline

Up to two fellowships will be awarded each year. The annual deadline

is March 1, and applicants will be notified after June 1.
