The Jill Sanders Memorial Scholarship is offering financial support to individuals living in African countries who are studying or working in healthcare and want to develop specialised knowledge and skills in Health Technology Assessment (HTA).
Administered by Health Technology Assessment international (HTAi), the scholarship was established in memory of Dr. Jill Sanders, a former Vice President of HTAi and President and CEO of the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health. She was a strong advocate for international collaboration in HTA and was committed to strengthening HTA capacity in developing countries.
The scholarship is designed to help African healthcare professionals and students undertake education or training directly related to HTA, with the broader objective of strengthening professional capacity and supporting the development and use of HTA across African countries.
The annual scholarship programme has CAD 20,000 available each fiscal year, making it a potentially valuable funding opportunity for eligible applicants pursuing education, training or professional development in health technology assessment.
The funding may therefore be relevant to applicants pursuing:
- Academic programmes related to health technology assessment.
- Healthcare and public health education with an HTA focus.
- Professional HTA training.
- Specialised courses and workshops.
- Other eligible educational activities that directly develop HTA knowledge and skills.
Applicants should consult the official scholarship policy and application documentation for the specific expenses and activities that can be supported.
The opportunity is specifically aimed at people residing in African countries who are studying or working in healthcare. Candidates should demonstrate a clear connection between their proposed education or training and Health Technology Assessment.
Applications for the Jill Sanders Memorial Scholarship are due on 15 October each year, unless HTAi announces a different deadline.
Prospective applicants should therefore prepare their application materials well in advance and verify the current deadline and requirements before submitting.
The application process requires candidates to download and complete the official scholarship application form. Applicants should also review the scholarship’s policy and procedures document to understand eligibility requirements, application expectations and funding conditions.
Interested applicants should begin by reviewing the official Jill Sanders Memorial Scholarship Policy and Procedures and the current application form.
