falcon_main2

The fellowship aims to enhance fellows’ expertise in disease elimination and eradication, enabling them to contribute to first to their countries and then to global health through research, and policy advocacy. Over the course of 2024-2025, GLIDE will support four fellows, aiming to equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills, and leadership strategies to lead innovative strategies in disease elimination.

Eligibility

Applications for the 2024-2025 Injaz Fellowship cycle are closed.

Fellows were selected based on their contribution to infectious disease elimination, project proposals, and leadership potential to address capacity strengthening, implementation excellence and global health diplomacy needs within disease elimination.

The Injaz Fellowship provides future leaders with an opportunity to expand their research and build on their knowledge and specialist skills in disease elimination. Developing future leaders is an essential component of disease elimination and I look forward to seeing how the winning individuals advance efforts in their countries and become agents of change in their respective fields.
