Travel Fellowship Available
Applications are being accepted for the Uwe Brinkmann Memorial Travel Fellowship, which is awarded each year to an outstanding doctoral student conducting field research in international health epidemiology at HSPH.
A renowned investigator of tropical diseases and dedicated teacher, Brinkmann held appointments in three HSPH departments and was a founding member of the multidisciplinary New Diseases Working Group. He died in June 1993 while conducting field research in Brazil.
The Fellowship will provide an award of $2,500 to support travel to a field research site and will be awarded to a doctoral student whose work exemplifies the interests and values of Brinkmann. Applicants should submit a letter that explains the proposed research project, how the travel funds would be used, and how the research would further international health, epidemiology, and infectious diseases.
Applications should be submitted to Barbara Heil, Department of Population and International Health, SPH I-1104, by Friday, April 20.
Contributions to the fund may be sent to the Office of the Dean, HSPH,
677 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115.
