“The opportunity to come to the CDC and work with people who are dealing with HIV on a national level was a real eye-opener for me.” - Joan Benoit, 2002 Price Fellow |
Fellowship Overview
Each year the Price Fellowships for HIV Prevention provide three nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders with the opportunity to visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta and, through interaction with CDC scientists and health professionals, learn about HIV prevention at the national level. This program provides an opportunity to facilitate exchange about important HIV/AIDS prevention issues between NGO leaders and CDC personnel, state and local health department representatives, and other NGO leaders in the United States. During the month-long fellowship, participants complete a project or pursue a special interest.
The purpose of the Price Fellowships program, which was established in 1996 by Texas philanthropist Wendell Price, is to build relationships between government organizations and NGOs, resulting in a more effective delivery of HIV/AIDS prevention programs than these organizations can achieve alone. Increasing interaction and exchange among persons in both types of organizations helps build stronger prevention programs at the community level and increase understanding and trust.
