Public Health Research Training Grants: 1996 - 1997
------------------------------------------------------------------
This initiative is jointly funded and administered by the Pan
American Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) and the International
Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada.
The program is envisioned as having two phases. Although distinct
in terms of time and place, these phases actually form part of a
continuum, in which the learning process and development of the
research project are intertwined.
During the first phase, Fellows will spend 9-12 months at leading
teaching/research institutions outside their native countries. The
format will be similar to that of a post-doctorate with a marked
emphasis on practice.
During the second phase, Fellows will implement the research
project with the support of the home institution. Funding for the
second phase is subject to approval of the research protocol by the
Review Committee.
The exact amount of the award will depend on the specific needs of
each case, taking into account prevailing norms and regulations of
PAHO/WHO. In any case, the award is not to exceed US$25,000.00.
In the event that the Grant does not cover all anticipated costs,
the candidate will be asked to demonstrate the availability of
funds for the remainder.
PLEASE NOTE: the deadline for receipt of applications in PAHO
Headquarters is May 15, 1996.
For further information about the Selection Process and Criteria or
to receive an application, please contact the PAHO/WHO Office in

McGill - HUNGARY HEALTH MANAGEMENT PROJECT
David Zakus, Ph.D.
Mount Sinai Hospital/University of Toronto
------------------------------------------------------------------
Beginning in late 1993 McGill University entered into a
collaborative project with the Canadian Health services Management
Institute (CHSMI) in Budapest, Hungary. CHSMI, at that time, was
a new teaching facility associated with Haynal Imre Postgraduate
Medical University. Its major goal was to rapidly train present
senior health service professionals in the various areas of health
administration, as part of the country's overall effort at health
reform. McGill attained a project grant from the Canadian
Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade
to assist in strengthening the Hungarian Institute in the delivery
of its training program. McGill's involvement consisted of an
office based in Montreal, the presence of a full-time faculty
member at the Institute, and the sending of several Canadian
professors to teach specific courses and assist the further
development of the Institute. The Institute has now seen its first
class graduate from the one year certificate program (January,
1995) and further cohorts begin not only the one year program, but
also a two year Masters course of study.
