ISF Lowry Fink Fellow 2024-2025 – Call for Applications from Low- and Middle-Income Countries

The International Sepsis Forum is pleased to announce the ISF Lowry Fink Fellowship – which recognizes the immense contributions made by Stephen F. Lowry and Mitchell Fink to advancing the science of sepsis – is open for 2024-2025 applications.

The Fellowship will offer rising stars, residing and working in low- and middle-income countries, in the field of sepsis the opportunity to promote education and research and to participate in clinical investigations through partnership with industry in a stimulating and supportive environment.

The principle behind the Fellowships is that they will be beneficial to both the Fellow and the ISF. Fellows would gain from interaction with the Council members and from working on activities with the ISF that will contribute to raising their international profile in sepsis. Applicants should be clinicians or scientists mid-career at the time of application, and with a record of accomplishment and proven interest in sepsis.
