Fellowship opportunities for W&H Taskforce members for The Network: TUFH 2008 Conference
Dear Colleagues,
GHETS is pleased to announce the availability of fellowships to support the attendance of Women and Health Taskforce members at The Network: TUFH’s annual conference in Bogotá, Colombia in September 2008. As in the past, the number and size of GHETS’ fellowships will be determined according to objective criteria established by the taskforce leadership. To be considered for a GHETS fellowship, please complete the attached form (questionnaire and expenses form) and return it to GHETS by no later than Friday, 30 May, 2008.
To be eligible for a Women and Health Fellowship, you will be required to have at least one abstract related to women’s health accepted for presentation at The Network: TUFH conference. All abstracts must be submitted directly to The Network: TUFH by their deadline of 1 June 2008. For more information about The Network: TUFH conference and submission of abstracts see their web site: http://www.the-networktufh.org/conference. We recognize that our deadline for fellowship applications is before the deadline for abstract submissions; please apply to the fellowship program if you are at all considering submitting an abstract. In addition, as the conference is being held this year in Colombia, some priority will be given to applicants from Colombia and other Latin American nations.
While we would like to provide as many fellowships as possible, funds are limited, and not everyone will receive fellowship support. Please begin now to explore other possible sources of support, including your institution, for conference-related expenses. We depend on all applicants to base estimated expenses on the most cost-effective arrangements available. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and will allow GHETS to support as many members of the taskforce as possible.
Unless your attendance at the conference is entirely dependent upon receipt of funding from GHETS, you should take the following steps as soon as possible:
* Register for The Network: TUFH 2008 conference and make your hotel booking
* Make airline reservations (please plan to arrive no later than September 25 and depart no earlier than October 2.
- This year we are hoping to have a pre-conference meeting of key Taskforce members on 26 September, 2008. All fellows will be required to attend this meeting.
- Fellows who receive funding and then do not attend both the Pre-Conference Workshop AND the Taskforce Meeting will be ineligible to receive Fellowships again until the 2011 Conference.
* If necessary, apply for a visa and request a visa letter of support from The Network: TUFH (also ensure that your passport is valid through at least your departure date from Colombia).
Please Note:
- Please be sure to check all entry requirements before traveling to Colombia (such as Visa and vaccination requirements).
- Some nationals are exempt from visa requirements for travel to Colombia.
Please visit the conference website and/or contact your nearest Colombian embassy or consulate for more detailed and specific information.
Fellowship recipients will be notified in July.
