The International Society of
Hypertension is pleased to announce a new initiative – the Research Scholar Fellowship Award.
This programme supports the training of postdoctoral scientists in the formative
stages of their careers to conduct clinical, epidemiology/population science, or
outcomes research. It provides the successful candidate with a period of mentored
research as part of a collaboration between the Scholar and a Sponsor at an established
research institution. It is expected that this experience will prepare the Scholar
to pursue a productive research career involving on-going collaboration with scientists
from established institutions.
Eligibility for the Awards:
• Scholar applicants must be from low income countries (please click
here for a list of eligible countries)
• Scholar applicants must have received a doctoral
degree within the past 10 years
• The proposed Sponsor must be a Member of the ISH and have demonstrated expertise
and a high level of productivity in clinical research, epidemiology/population science
research, or outcomes research and appropriate resources to fulfill the objectives
of the training programme
• The Sponsor’s institution should have a well established record of research that
is appropriate for the part of the world from which the prospective Scholar hails
and, preferably, conducted in that part of the world
Financial Support:
The ISH will provide up to US $30,000 for one year of support of the Scholar’s salary
and expenses under supervision by the Sponsor at the Sponsor’s institution. Applications
that propose sharing the Scholar’s salary and expenses between the Sponsor’s institution
and ISH Research Foundation are strongly encouraged.
The award may be renewed for one additional year for a maximum of 2 years support,
contingent upon a satisfactory progress report for the first year and a suitable
plan for the second year of training. The second year of training may be conducted
either at the Sponsor’s institution or at the Scholar’s home institution if justified
by the training plan and if collaboration between the Scholar and Sponsor continues.
Successful applicants will not be permitted to reapply for the Research Scholar
Fellowship after their two-year award.
