Takemi Program in International Health Fellowships
--------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

Takemi Program in International Health Fellowships at the Harvard 
School of Public Health

The Takemi Program in International Health has extended its applica-
tion deadline from February 1 to March 1 for the 2000-2001 academic 
year. 

The Takemi Program seeks applications for a limited number of fellow-
ships for research and advanced training on critical issues of inter-
national health, especially those relating to developing countries. 
This interdisciplinary program focuses primarily on mobilizing, allo-
cating, and managing scarce resources to improve health, and creating 
sound strategies for disease control and health promotion. To address 
these issues, the Program 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 
Program seeks to contribute to institutional development and to im-
provement of national health policy as well as to the advancement of 
knowledge. 

The Program is named for the late Dr. Taro Takemi, the distinguished 
physician-scientist, who served for more than 25 years as President 
of the Japan Medical Association. Dr. Takemi also worked energeti-
cally to encourage people from many nations to address common issues, 
particularly the development and allocation of resources for health 
improvement. 

The Takemi Program has three major objectives:

- to create better methods for mobilizing and using health resources
  in both rich and poor countries; 

- to promote cooperative research and comparative analysis of health
  policies and programs in different countries, including the promo-
  tion of Essential National Health Research;

- to contribute to individual and institutional development by bring-
  ing together leading health professionals and scholars from many na-
  tions for research and training.
