How to Apply

Applicants should have background and expertise in the fields of global health or human rights. A JD or its equivalent is required for a clinical fellowship and preferred for a research fellowship. The Initiative will consider applicants for research fellowships who hold doctoral degrees in related fields in lieu of a law degree. The expectation for applicants proposing to lead clinical projects is that they have significant field and supervisory experience in global health or human rights. Applicants will be evaluated by the quality of their proposals, and by their record of academic and professional achievement.

The application deadline for the 2007-2009 fellowship period has passed. Please check back in November 2007 for more information about application deadlines for upcoming opportunities.
