| Health and Population Innovation Fellowship
Program: Call for Applications |
| |
| The Population Council, New Delhi, invites applications for
the Health and Population Innovation Fellowship (HPIF) program
(formerly the MacArthur Fund for Leadership Development) for
the year 2006-07. |
| |
| The HPIF program is a continuation of the Fund for Leadership
Development (FLD) fellowship program managed and supported by
the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation over the period
1995-2003. During this period, 64 individuals were supported,
and they have become a significant resource group in the area
of reproductive health and rights in India. In 2004, the MacArthur
Foundation awarded a grant to the Population Council to administer
this program. Since 2004, the program has been renamed the Health
and Population Innovation Fellowship. |
| |
| The aim of the HPIF program remains identical to that of
the FLD program: to support mid-career individuals who have
innovative ideas, leadership potential, and the capacity to
help shape policy and public debate in the field of population,
reproductive health, and rights in general, with a focus on
two priority themes, namely maternal mortality and morbidity
and the sexual and reproductive health and rights of young people.
|
| |
| Project themes include risk behaviors of young people and
other vulnerable populations, quality of care and informed consent,
pregnancy-related care, male involvement, the influence of the
media on risk behaviors of youth, advocating for the rights
of HIV-positive women, and strategies for dispelling myths and
misconceptions about Islam and reproductive health matters (PDF:
profiles of current fellows) |
| |
| Individuals who wish to develop innovative approaches, including,
but not limited to, action, advocacy, and/or research initiatives
in the areas of population and reproductive and sexual health
and rights are invited to apply for this fellowship. Applications
may focus on, for example: |
| |
- promoting young people's sexual and reproductive health
and choice;
- making pregnancy safer;
- addressing the needs of women experiencing unintended
pregnancy or seeking abortion;
- addressing unmet need for contraception and dual protection;
- improving the quality of a range of reproductive health
services;
- strengthening men’s involvement and responsibility
in sexual and reproductive matters;
- developing models to improve dialogue between diverse
groups, including women’s groups, health care providers,
and policymakers; or
- advocating for changes needed in health, educational,
and legal policies relating to sexual and reproductive health
and rights.
|
| |
| Who should apply |
| |
| The Council is looking for candidates with innovative ideas,
leadership potential, and a strong desire for personal and professional
development. The fellowship program is open to Indian women
and men resident in any part of the country who are between
the ages of 25 and 45 years and are in the mid-stage of their
careers. However, this restriction may be relaxed in the case
of women who began their careers later. |
| |
| Applicants may be from any sector, including nongovernmental
organizations, women's organizations, the corporate sector,
the media, or academia. Fellowships are awarded to applicants
from any discipline: social science, medicine and health, management,
law, education, and so forth. Preference will be given to individuals
who have: |
| |
- a plan to develop professional capacity and knowledge;
- a strategy to influence and affect policy and public debate;
- clearly defined and realistic objectives; and
- indicators of progress toward those objectives
|
| |
| Selection process |
| |
| Selection of fellows takes place once a year through a competitive
process. Fellowships are for full-time work and are awarded
for a period of one to two years. The fellowship, if granted,
will start on 1 August 2006. |
