SCOPE Graduate Student Fellowship Program now accepting applications
Deadline: 11:59PM Sunday, December 3, 2017
Eligibility: Students enrolled in a graduate degree program at the University of Washington
Site: Gondar, Ethiopia
Funding: Up to $6,000
The SCOPE fellowship offers funding (up to $6000) for a 3-6 month field experience in Gondar, Ethiopia. Selected students will work with collaborators at the University of Gondar to explore how partnerships with faith communities can be leveraged to improve health. SCOPE’s mission is to unite medical and faith communities to improve health for the most vulnerable through innovative partnerships, leadership development, and measured impact. Fellows will work closely with University of Gondar fellows, faculty and staff on their defined activities.
SCOPE is seeking graduate student applicants to support the Faith Leaders Advocating for Maternal Empowerment (FLAME) project, a randomized control trial that will assess the efficacy of an intervention to improve uptake of antenatal and delivery care services at health centers in rural Ethiopia. Fellows will assist the University of Gondar FLAME team in the development and implementation of the intervention with direction from mentors in the Department of Global Health at UW and professionals on the SCOPE Board of Trustees. Please see the SCOPE website for more details on the SCOPE fellowship and how to apply. Contact Kate Pfizenmaier with any questions regarding the application at kpfiz1@uw.edu .
