[TAKEMI PROGRAM] CALL FOR APPLICATIONS!

Takemi Program in International Health Fellowships at the Harvard School
of Public Health

        The Takem Program in International Health has extended its
application deadline from February 1 to March 1 for the 2000-2001 academic
year.  The Takemi Program seeks applications for a limited number of
fellowships 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.
