International Health Fellowships

[Guest guest]

2004-2005 Takemi Programme in International Health Fellowships

Harvard School of Public Health

Closing Date: 1 February 2004

Description

The Takemi Programme seeks applications for a limited number of

fellowships for research and advanced training on critical issues of

international health, especially those relating to developing

countries. This interdisciplinary programme focuses primarily on

mobilising, allocating, and managing scarce resources to improve

health, and creating sound strategies for disease control and health

promotion. To address these issues, the Programme brings together at

Harvard a small group of future leaders from around the world and

from diverse disciplines. Through its fellowships for highly

qualified individuals the Takemi Programme seeks to contribute to

institutional development and to improvement of national health

policy as well as to the advancement of knowledge.

Eligibility

Applicants should have completed graduate degrees and demonstrated

potential leadership capacity in their home countries. They are

expected to show strong promise and appropriate preparation

(including facility in English) to enable them to benefit from a

period at Harvard. Further, they are expected to have made, or intend

to make, a commitment to a career in health for which participation

in the Programme will be of significant value.

Applications may come from any relevant discipline or profession

(e.g. medicine, law, public health, economics, management, and social

sciences).

Applicants should take the initiative to identify and obtain

potential sources of funding for the Fellowship. The Takemi Programme

can assist in identifying appropriate sources and has limited core

funds available for partial support for several Fellowships.

Programme funds for stipends and travel grants will be adjusted to

individual circumstances and the availability of other support.
