Study In Colombia: 2023 WHO/TDR Postgraduate Scholarship for Developing Countries

The training will focus specifically on subjects and courses relevant to implementation science. Implementation science is a growing field that supports the identification of health system bottlenecks and approaches to address them and is particularly useful in LMICs, where many health interventions do not reach those who could benefit from them.

The goal of this scholarship is to enhance graduate training capacity and augment the number and quality of researchers in LMICs. The TDR Postgraduate Training Scholarship has a focus on implementation research.

To be considered for the scholarship, you must:

• Be residents in and nationals of low- and middle-income countries (as defined by the World Bank) in the WHO African Region.
• Be 35 years old or younger.
• Be interested in developing a career in implementation research on infectious diseases of poverty.
• Hold a bachelor’s degree in a relevant field from any recognized university.
• Be proficient in English.
• Provide evidence of ability to obtain study leave from employment (if applicable) before the commencement of program
