Fellows Program to honor the life and work of Lisa Devereux Kernan.
Fellowships
will be provided in the summer 2010 to two outstanding students with a
demonstrated commitment to social justice. Due date for application: May

The Lisa Kernan Social Justice Fellows Program will provide learning
opportunities and support for undergraduate and graduate level students
who
are dedicated to improving the health of individuals and communities in
the
United States and globally.

Fellows will have the opportunity to learn first-hand how health, economic
and/or trade policies affect the health of individuals in our communities,
for example, access to affordable life-saving medicines for people living
with HIV-AIDS. Through their work, Fellows will also gain new
understanding
about how their research can directly inform key-decision makers in
the U.S.to create safeguards and change policy to protect our health
and promote
social justice.

Lisa Kernan Social Justice Fellows will participate in a four week Program
in Summer 2010 that will involve work on a CPATH Trade and Health or EQUAL
Health Care project, Fellowship mentoring, and graduate level instruction.
Fellows will receive a stipend of $1,000 for the Program. Eligibility:
