APLAR Fellowship in Pediatric Rheumatology

The APLAR Fellowship in Pediatric Rheumatology is a special grant given by Asia Pacific League of Associations for Rheumatology (APLAR). The APLAR Fellowship grant is to assist graduates to undertake an intensive or advanced study in clinical aspects or research methodology in Adult or Paediatric Rheumatology outside his/her own country, preferably at an APLAR Center of Excellence, or others, for a minimum period of six (6) months. The APLAR invites applications from science and medical graduates from different APLAR member societies for this fellowship grant. The APLAR Executive Committee may consider the option of extending the Fellowship duration to twelve (12) months if there is a clinical need, for those who apply for the 12 months grant. The committee will not consider extensions of the APLAR Fellowship once the initial application has been approved. The successful candidate must have a long-term commitment to continue research or clinical work in his/her own country at the conclusion of this fellowship. The grant is given to cover accommodation and subsistence costs. All successful fellows are required to submit a full report to the APLAR Executive Committee upon the completion of this fellowship.
