The IAHPC Traveling Fellowship program was started
in 1999 and is designed to provide support to palliative
care leaders who are invited to developing countries. The
achievements of the IAHPC Traveling Fellows have been truly
remarkable and were able to produce observable improvements
in the teaching and delivery of palliative care. Through
the Traveling Fellowship Program, IAHPC is making a significant
difference to the development of palliative care in the
developing world. The organization gratefully acknowledges
the generous financial support of Our
Sponsors and seeks your help to continue the Traveling
Fellowship Program.
IAHPC has supported Traveling Fellows to countries
in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. To read

In order to apply for a TF grant, the following
criteria must be met:
-
Applications should not be just to give
a presentation in a conference, symposium or congress.
The visit may include such a presentation, but should
also include hands-on teaching with palliative care workers
in the host institution/country and a significant involvement
in providing support to the locals in achieving goals.
These goals should be long term and lead to improvements
in any or all the following areas: patient practice, service
development, education, opioid availability and policy.
-
The program is designed to support not
only medical doctors. Applicants from other disciplines
working in palliative care are welcomed.
-
Applicants to this program should be 100%
dedicated to palliative care, have extensive experience
working in the field and be recognized leaders in the
discipline they work in. Leadership in the field may be
represented as having hold or holding academic positions,
leading or directorship positions, number of publications
and other achievements.
-
The TF application requires both the applicant
and somebody from the host institution to be active members
of IAHPC.
-
Applications have two parts: one should
be submitted by the applicant and another by the host
institution.
-
If the grant is awarded, the applicant
is asked to sign an indemnity agreement before the transfer
of funds can be made.
-
Applications should be submitted at least
3 months in advance of the expected dates of travel. Applications
received with less time, will also be reviewed but there
is no guarantee that the applicant may receive an answer
before his/her travel date.
