institutions in Switzerland. The objectives of the Fellowship Program
are:

countries for clinical and research positions in infectious dis-
eases,
* to foster partnerships between Fellows and infectious disease lead-
ers in Switzerland, and
* to increase scientific research capacity in low income/high disease
burden countries.
Opportunities for training and research in a variety of areas ranging
from basic studies of the mechanism of disease to studies in public
health, epidemiology, diagnostics, therapeutics or vaccine develop-
ment, are available through this program.
The term of the Fellowship is for one year. The start date of the
2003 Fellowship Program is late September/early October 2003 and will
be determined by arrangement between the host institution and the
Fellow.
A financial stipend of up to SF 36,000 per year (approximately US$
21,000) will be given to Fellows to cover travel costs and living ex-
penses. The program intends to award two fellowships every year.
