GloCal Health Fellowship 2027–2028

The GloCal Health Fellowship supports mentored global health research and training through the University of California Global Health Institute and partner sites. The 2027–2028 cycle requires more than a general interest in global health: applicants need an appropriate career-stage fit, a defined research direction and the required mentoring and institutional relationships.

Is it a fit?

Eligibility varies by applicant category and institutional connection. Read the official guidance closely before investing in a proposal. A good fit usually combines relevant preparation, a feasible research question and access to an approved site and mentoring structure.

Develop the application

Start with the research problem and available data or field context. Agree responsibilities with mentors, define what can be completed within the fellowship and make the training plan specific. The strongest proposal is ambitious enough to matter and narrow enough to deliver.

Prepare evidence

Allow time for academic documents, letters, ethics considerations, institutional approvals and mentor input. Keep versions organised and confirm who is responsible for each component.

Deadline and source

The listed deadline is 15 September 2026. Requirements can change between cycles, so use the official application-process page linked below rather than an older summary.
