ABOUT THE MSD FELLOWSHIP FOR GLOBAL HEALTH

NGO partners must have proven expertise and success in
implementing programs that improve access to health. An
eligible NGO Partner’s mission must align with one of the
following priorities:
Health Access: Improving healthcare quality and increasing access to
care for underserved populations in the areas of Alzheimer's, cancer,
diabetes, HIV / AIDS, maternal health and animal health.
Health System: Strengthening the capacity of local and or national health
systems in areas such as supply chain, organizational design and
development, marketing and business planning.
Research and Development: Projects that support the advancement of
research and development capabilities, particularly in the area of
neglected and tropical diseases will be considered. However, projects
CANNOT focus on the research and/or development of specific
compounds or biological agents for the treatment or prevention of disease.
