Please click the links below to download

• The ACCFP Application Form
• Institutional Support Form
• Professional Reference Form

All application materials are available in both English and French, and applications forms may be prepared and submitted in either English or French.

Applicants should download and complete the ACCFP Application Form. In doing so, please adhere strictly to all word limits. Failure to do so will be interpreted as lack of ability to identify essential information and write concisely and will be judged unfavorably in the review of your application. The Institutional Support Form should be completed by an appropriate representative of the applicant’s Home Institution and should be submitted by the Home Institution (not the applicant) directly to the Pan-African START Secretariat.

Two Professional References should each complete a Professional Reference Form and submit it directly to the Pan-African START Secretariat. All application materials should be submitted via email to the Pan-African START Secretariat at pass@ira.udsm.ac.tz. The title of the relevant form and the applicant’s family name should appear in all email subject lines. All application materials must be received by the Pan-African START Secretariat no later than 17 September 2008. Applications that are incomplete or received after the deadline will not be reviewed.

Prospective Fellows are encouraged to have all materials submitted to the Secretariat as early as possible. Once the selection process is completed, all applicants will be notified of award decisions by the Program organizers. It is expected that the selection process will be completed by 31 October 2008.
