ASTMH Call for Concept papers for the 2025 Alan J Magill Fellowship
American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (ASTMH) calls for Concept Papers for the 2024 Alan J. Magill Fellowship, created in partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to honor the life, example and legacy of Alan J. Magill, MD, FASTMH, a widely recognized and respected leader in the global tropical medicine community.
Program details:
In keeping with the prominent roles displayed throughout Alan Magill’s life, the Magill Fellowship:
- Will support mentorship, career and/or leadership development projects for ASTMH members in the early to middle stage of mid-career in low/low-middle income countries focusing on leadership development in tropical medicine.
- Stipulates that the selected Magill Fellow will work closely with a mentor (ideally an ASTMH member) who will play a prominent role in developing and executing the Fellow’s two-year plan of activities.
While the award will recognize achievement in tropical medicine, it is not intended to extend current research or clinical activities. Instead, it is designed to support career-broadening experiences to enhance professional development and leadership opportunities beyond those traditionally available from within the applicant’s home organization—and in so doing, equip awardees to later assume leadership and mentoring roles in various aspects of tropical medicine.
Eligibility:
- Open only to ASTMH members who are citizens and legal residents of a low/low-middle income country as determined by the World Bank and WHO/Hinari.
- Early-to-middle stage of mid-career. The successful applicant will have experience in the workplace with clinical work and/or scientific investigations.
- A Master’s degree or higher is desired for applicants whose education has focused on advocacy and policy
rather than scientific research or clinical care. - MD, MBBS, DDS, DVM or PhD-level degree.
- Mentor required (member of ASTMH encouraged but not required). The mentor will help the applicant plan and carry out the proposed Fellowship activities. The mentor is not required to work at the same organization/institution as the applicant or to directly supervise the proposed Fellowship activity.
- Applicant and mentor are responsible for planning the proposed Fellowship activity and securing agreement from participating/hosting institutions.
Funding details:
- funding of $50,000 US for a period of up to two years to one recipient.
