MedTech I.Q.

The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

A message from Clymer.."CC"..Conrad Clyburn to all members of International Health & Humanitarian Assistance on MedTechIQ!

Colleagues,

Thanx to MedTechIQ-ologist, Dr Azhar Rafiq for the following announcement for our youth members/mentees...

The Herbert Scoville Jr. Peace Fellowship is a competitive national program that provides college graduates the opportunity to work in Washington, DC, with a public-interest organization focusing on international security issues. The program has awarded 115 Fellowships since its inception in 1987. The fellowship is offered twice yearly, in the spring and fall. It lasts from six to nine months and provides a stipend, health insurance, and travel costs to Washington, DC. The Scoville Fellowship does not award grant or scholarship money to students. Graduate students who wish to apply would have to take a leave from their graduate studies for at least six months to complete their fellowship work in Washington, DC.

Scoville Fellows may undertake a variety of activities, including research, writing, and advocacy in support of the goals of their host organization and may attend coalition meetings, policy briefings, and Congressional hearings. Past fellows have written fact sheets, letters to the editor, op-eds, magazine articles, briefing books and reports, organized talks and conferences, and been interviewed as experts by the media. Many former Scoville Fellows work for U.S. and international NGOs, the Federal Government, and academia, or attend graduate school in political science or international relations, following their fellowships.

Those interested in peace and security issues are encouraged to visit the Scoville website at www.scoville.org . A flyer about the program can be printed from www.scoville.org/flyer.html . The next application deadline is February 2, 2009, for the Fall 2009 Fellowship.

All U.S. citizens, and foreign nationals residing in the United States, are eligible to apply.

ENJOY!

CC
