Call for Expressions of Interest: Host Institutions for SNF Global Center Clinical Fellowship

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Global Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health at the Child Mind Institute, in partnership with the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions (IACAPAP), invites expressions of interest from institutions interested in hosting international fellows through the SNF Global Center Clinical Fellowship Program. This innovative two-year fellowship is designed to strengthen child and adolescent mental health (CAMH) services in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) by building the capacity of public-sector clinicians through intensive, specialized training. The program pairs a host institution offering CAMH expertise with a home institution in an LMIC where fellows will return to implement services. 

This proven model—already active between Brazil and Mozambique—trains multidisciplinary teams (psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, pediatricians, occupational therapists, etc.) who currently lack access to CAMH specialization. Year one of the fellowship consists of immersive training at the host site; year two supports supervised service delivery in the fellows’ home countries. The model is can be adapted to fit the specific context, capacity, and priorities of each partner institution. 

Institutions interested in becoming host partners are invited to submit a brief Expression of Interest to explore potential alignment. Submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee selection or funding. Rather, it serves as an opportunity for institutions to signal interest and begin a conversation with the SNF Global Center about potential alignment. If a formal partnership is pursued and confirmed, selected host institutions will receive full program funding, including support for fellow stipends, training, and administrative costs. EOIs are reviewed on a rolling basis.
