The Presidential Management Fellowship
Presidential Management Fellowship (PMF) is an outstanding and highly competitive program sponsored by the federal government. This prestigious program recruits qualified candidates and provides them with the training as well as the opportunity to rotate between various federal agencies to learn how they operate. Upon completing the program and graduating from school, many of the candidates end up being recruited by government agencies at relatively high GS levels (GS 9-13). While enrolled in the fellowship program (for 2 years), you will receive salary, benefits and possibly loan repayment benefits (up to $10,000 a year).
The application process is complex and lengthy, so you should be prepared. PMF class of 2009 application season is scheduled to open soon. The "How to Apply\Program and Application Overview" section of the website has not yet been updated to reflect the 2009 application season.

Kaiser Mini-Fellowships for Journalists for Global Health Reporting
The Kaiser Mini-Fellowships Program for Global Health Reporting will award travel and project support to print, radio, television, and online journalists (including freelancers) to research and report on global health issues, with a particular focus on issues related to HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria. This program is for journalists working for English-language news organizations with target audiences in North America and/or Europe. Priority will be given to projects otherwise unlikely to be undertaken or completed, focusing on issues that have not been reported or are under-reported, and which have a high likelihood of being published/aired/posted and of reaching a mass audience. Reporting projects can be local or international in scope, but should focus on public health concerns - or responses - that are of global relevance.
