- B.C. Research Institute for Children’s and Women’s Health: Postdoctoral Fellowships
American Social Health Association (ASHA) Research FundThe ASHA Research Fund The ASHA Research Fund (ARF) is the nation's only privately funded post-doctoral research training program for scientific investigators in the field of sexually transmitted diseases. Since the establishment of the program in 1975, ASHA has awarded a total of 52 fellowships, supporting one to two fellows per year. ASHA's investment in STD research now totals over $2.5 million. While this is a small amount of money for scientific research, the influence of the ASHA Research Fund has been significant. Many of the leading STD researchers in the country have sponsored ASHA research fellows or begun their careers under the auspices of the program, and several fellows have already gone on to mentor other new investigators. Because STD research was largely neglected in the past, ASHA fellows have rapidly achieved a number of significant scientific and medical breakthroughs. The stipend for a two-year ASHA Research Fund fellowship is approximately is $35,500 during the first year and $36,000 during the second year. Request for applications for the 2004 - 2006 cycle will be announced during summer 2003. Website: http://www.ashastd.org/programs/arf.html Andrew W.

Interns generally work closely with a staff member who could be the Executive Director, the Financial Manager, the Membership Manager, or the Publications Manager. In the past, interns have acted as the AWIS liaison to the National Coalition for Women and Girls in Education, attended hearings and followed judicial decisions, composed AWIS press releases, worked on public relations, set up cataloging systems for AWIS resources, written for the bimonthly AWIS Magazine, assisted with membership activities, worked on grants, fulfilled information requests, and much more! We try to tailor your educational and work-related needs to the goals of the organization. We hope that our interns can aid us in our mission to achieve equity and full participation for women in science and technology. AWIS interns are a vital part of the National Office operations. Our interns are invaluable to the organization, and we strive to make your experiences with AWIS equally valuable to your own career/ leadership development. To apply, please send your resume and cover letter to AWIS stating the time of year for which you are applying, and the particular interest you have in applying to our organization. We are always looking for interns to help us achieve our goals. Please feel free to contact Kathy Ruby at (202)-326-8940 with any questions.

Bertram Hoffmeister Fellowships are given in honor of Major General Bertram Meryl Hoffmeister, O.C., C.B., C.B.E., D.S.O., E.D., who served for many years as a member of the board of directors of B.C.'s Children's Hospital. As the founding chairman of the Hospital's Research Division, Mr Hoffmeister played a critical role in the development of research, notably as a leader in raising funds for, planning and building a research centre that opened in 1985 as the laboratory-base for studies of child health problems. Mining for Miracles Post Doctoral Research Fellowships honor the mining community of British Columbia. This group of mining companies, industry suppliers and the Contractors and Consultants Association consistently raise in excess of $400,000 annually for clinical and research programs at B.C.'s Children's Hospital. They established an Institute fellowship in 1995 and within five years raised $500,000 to endow the award in perpetuity. The Research Institute/Canadian Genetic Diseases Network Postdoctoral Fellowship (CGDN) was established in 1998 as a joint initiative for support of fellows training in the laboratories of CGDN senior investigators on site at Children's & Women's Health Centre of British Columbia. In special cases such funding may be awarded for training in laboratories of senior CGDN investigators on the UBC main campus or at other UBC teaching hospitals.
