INTERNATIONAL POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP IN NURSING

Jointly Sponsored by:
The International Network for Doctoral Education in Nursing (INDEN)
and
Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI)

Purpose:
The purpose of this fellowship is to enhance the quality of doctoral education worldwide by:
• providing opportunities to nurse faculties in doctoral programs to strengthen their research skills and learn about doctoral education and mentoring in an international context;
• laying the foundation for future international research collaboration and multi-site studies; and
• opening avenues for international exchange of scholars.

Participating Organizations
This fellowship program is jointly funded and supported by INDEN and STTI.

Features of the Fellowship
Who can apply?
The fellowship is limited to recent doctoral graduates from low and middle income countries who are appointed to faculty positions in doctoral programs, and who are currently serving, or will serve, as supervisors of doctoral student research.

What does the fellowship provide?
The fellowship will provide a monthly stipend, which will vary from $1500 - $2000/month, depending on the cost of living in the country where the fellowship is held. The stipend should be sufficient for room and board, local transportation, and purchase of health insurance available in most countries for students. The fellowship also provides a modest honorarium for mentors.

Where will fellows be placed?
Fellows will be placed in settings that are research intensive environments, and where there are investigators in the fellow’s proposed area of research. The selection committee and INDEN will locate such settings through INDEN’s data base, and through extensive contacts with the diverse membership of STTI and INDEN. Applicants may also suggest appropriate venues and potential mentors, if they have knowledge of them, for the consideration of the selection committee.

Number of Awards and Length of Training
Three fellows a year will be supported; the study period is three months.

• Present evidence that research will continue upon return to home country.
• Have the potential for engaging in future international collaboration and facilitating exchange of scholars.

Terms of the Award
• Applicants must be committed to returning to their home country/institution following the period of training.
