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.

The Research Ethics Fellowship has two phases:

Phase I: During the first phase (September 2004-June 2005), 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 2005-June 2006), 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, 2004.
