FRED H. BIXBY
FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM 

The deadline for applications is 15 January 2009. Inquiries will be answered beginning in August 2008.

The Population Council offers a fellowship program to expand training opportunities for population specialists and biomedical researchers. This fellowship is geared toward those in the early stages of their careers, and to those with a demonstrated commitment to remaining in their home countries to build capacity in local institutions, or returning home after working/studying abroad. The Council's Fred H. Bixby Fellowship Program is a ten-year program that began in January 2007. The program is highly competitive and will offer a limited number of fellowships each year. The Fred H. Bixby fellowships will allow citizens of developing countries to work with experienced mentors in the Council's network of offices. Fellows will work on projects in the following program areas:

• HIV and AIDS

• Poverty, Gender, and Youth

• Reproductive Health

Donor
This fellowship program is made possible through a generous grant from the Fred H. Bixby Foundation. Fred H. Bixby (1910–72) was a Californian rancher who provided in his will for the creation of the Fred H. Bixby Foundation to support activities related to issues of population.
