Population Council: Bixby Fellowship Program

Through a generous grant from the Fred H. Bixby Foundation, the Population Council has created the Bixby Fellowship Program to expand opportunities for recently trained social scientists and biomedical researchers in the health and population fields. The program is highly competitive and offers a limited number of fellowships each year. Bixby fellowships allow citizens of developing countries to work with experienced mentors in the Council’s international network of offices. Fellows work on projects in one of three program areas: Reproductive Health, HIV/AIDS, and Poverty, Gender and Youth. The deadline for applications is 15 January, 2010. A description of the program and details about application procedures are available on the Council’s website at: http://www.popcouncil.org/slr/Bixby/Bixby_home.html.
