The HIVCorps Fellowship Program was established in 2003 with three primary purposes:
- to provide logistical support for our various HIV-related service projects,
- to provide students and early career public health professionals with the opportunity to work in developing world settings, and
- to foster collaborations between the American and Zambian volunteers.
Now entering its 6th year, the CIDRZ HIVCorps initiative has trained over 90 expatriate and Zambian fellows. The program provides graduate students and recent graduates the opportunity to participate in international HIV programs or research. Individuals with an interest in the following programmatic areas are encouraged to apply:(1) pediatric antiretroviral therapy scale-up, (2) tuberculosis and HIV co-infection, (3) HIV-related community outreach and/or health systems programs, (4) monitoring of clinical care during rapid scale-up, (5) data management and outcomes analysis, (6) perinatal HIV prevention services, (7) HIV/AIDS clinical trials, (8)women’s reproductive health, (9) laboratory systems in the developing world, and (10) grant writing and program development.
