Postdoctoral Fellowship in Global Health Research for African Psychological Scientists
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are partnering with the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to establish the African Postdoctoral Training Initiative (APTI), a program that recruits and trains early-career African scientists at an intramural lab at NIH in a global health research area priority of their home institutions/countries.
APTI Fellows are trained at NIH for two years in one of the following global health research areas: infectious diseases; nutrition; and reproductive, maternal, and child health; and develop skills for clinical and translational research. After their two-year tenure, Fellows are then provided with salary support as they begin their careers as independent researchers.
According to the call for applications, “the main objective of APTI is to train a cadre of African scientists so they return to their home institutions and become scientific leaders in their community, help solve Africa’s challenges in global health and development, and in turn become trainers of the next generation.”
