Application Deadline: EXTENDED TO APRIL 8, 2011, 5:00PM The Institute offers support for 3-6 month internship opportunities for MSPH and doctoral students in the Bloomberg School of Public Health. Approximately 4 to 8 are awarded each year. The objective of the internships is to enable students to enhance their professional practice or research skills for future reproductive health work in developing countries. The Gates Institute has expanded the terms of internship arrangements to accommodate students’ interests in programmatic skill building in the area of population and reproductive health. Past internships required collaboration with Gates Institute partners on research projects. Because of increasingly challenges for IRB reviews and approval which cannot be guaranteed to be completed before internships commence, the Institute encourages students, especially at masters level, to identify internship arrangements with a programmatic focus. Students may arrange their own internships directly with developing-country based offices of multilateral or bilateral agencies, international and national non-governmental organizations or private foundations. Internships may also be arranged, with assistance from Gates Institute staff, to work with partnership institutions in Nigeria, Ethiopia, Malawi, Egypt, Uganda, and Ghana.
