Your application-vetting and participation at this stage will be prior to the final selection of Fellows. The GHWP review process will take place February 1-12, 2021. Members of the panel will each review approximately 20 applications, committing on average 2 weeks for the review process. This year, we anticipate 500+ applications.
Reviewers must undergo a one hour online-based training, resources and tools to inform them about the review criteria and vetting process. To apply to be a reviewer, please fill out the Google Form to indicate what capacity you can be involved. We look forward to your submission and will confirm your participation by December 2020.
The PHI/CDC Global Health Fellowship Program and CUGH appreciates your consideration of this opportunity. We will share success stories of the selected Fellows with the panel. You may also have the opportunity throughout the year to be further involved with the PHI/CDC Global Health Fellows. We will be accepting fellowship applications in December; more information can be found on the program website at www.phi-cdcfellows.org.
