The CIDRZ-Health Corps Fellowship program is a prestigious and highly competitive yearly program which enrols candidates from various fields of study with a master’s qualification from both local and international universities for a year. The fellowship programme is owned by CIDRZ in collaboration with the Global Health Corps. 

The goal for the CIDRZ-Health Corps Fellowship is to expose graduates to real life research/implementation science and offer hands on experience which allows them to sharpen their career trajectory. 

The Fellowship  programme enrolls candidates from various fields of study with a Master’s degree qualification. The selected fellows work in different projects at CIDRZ while the fellowship program helps them identify their research and career interests.  Under the 2020/21 Fellowship cohort, which commenced in July 2020 and will end in August 2021, CIDRZ hosted 8 Fellows.
