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

The Takemi Program seeks applications for a limited number of fellow-
ships for the 2002-2003 academic year for research and advanced 
training on critical issues of international health, especially those 
relating to developing countries. This interdisciplinary program fo-
cuses primarily on mobilizing, allocating, and managing scarce re-
sources 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 fellow-
ships for highly qualified individuals the Takemi Program seeks to 
contribute to institutional development and to improvement of na-
tional 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 promotion 
  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.

If you are interested in applying, please visit our web site listed

tional information, or e-mail us at: <takemi@hsph.harvard.edu>. The 
deadline for September 2002 admission is Feb. 1, 2002.
