TAKEMI PROGRAM CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
The Takemi Program in International Health Fellowships at the Harvard School
of Public Health
The Takemi Program seeks applications for a limited number of fellowships
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 focuses primarily on
mobilizing, allocating, 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
improvement 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 energetically 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 bringing
together leading health professionals and scholars from many nations for
research and training.
