Fulbright/NAF Heersink Family Foundation Fellowship in Global Health

This Fellowship supports research related to global health and foodborne illness and is distributed by the Netherland-America Foundation with funding from the Heersink Family Foundation. Building on the enduring heritage and values shared between the peoples of the Netherlands and the United States, the Netherland-America Foundation (NAF) seeks to further strengthen the bonds between our two countries through exchange in the arts, sciences, education, medicine, business, and public affairs. The fellowship is a 9-month grant that begins in the fall, with grant activities starting by September 1. Candidates at all degree levels (Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral) will be considered for independent research projects or those combining research with advanced graduate courses at Dutch universities. The candidate's field of study and proposal should be related to food safety and delivery, infectious diseases, maternal health, and/or cancer, with a cross-disciplinary approach encouraged. Preference is given to candidates from the University of Alabama at Birmingham and/or those affiliating with Maastricht University.
