Re: Health Awards, Fellowships and Prizes

Many best wishes to everyone. We have recently received information 
on a number of health-related awards, fellowships and prizes. I 
wanted to draw these to your attention in case they are of interest 
and relevance to your organisation. Please note that the deadline 
dates for some of these are approaching. Details and links follow. 
Good luck should you apply for any of these. 

Before outlining them just a quick reminder of some feedback/infor-
mation we are seeking at The Communication Initiative in order to 
better support your work.
