Overview
The Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program brings accomplished mid-level professionals to the United States for a year of combined academic (NON-DEGREE) and professional work. Fellows are selected based on potential for leadership and commitment to public service. By providing future leaders and policy makers with experience in U. S. society, culture, and professional fields, the program provides a basis for lasting, productive ties between Americans and their professional counterparts overseas.
FELLOWSHIP FIELDS: Fellowships are granted competitively to both public and private sector candidates with strong leadership potential and a commitment to public service in the fields of:
- COMMUNICATIONS/JOURNALISM
- NATURAL RESOURCES/ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY AND CLIMATE CHANGE
- PUBLIC POLICY ANALYSIS AND PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
- ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT/FINANCE AND BANKING
- AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT/AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS

- HIV/AIDS POLICY AND PREVENTION
- HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
- LAW/HUMAN RIGHTS
- URBAN AND REGIONAL PLANNING

- SUBSTANCE ABUSE EDUCATION, TREATMENT AND PREVENTION
RECRUITMENT: Appropriate candidates are mid-career professionals in leadership positions who have the required experience/skills, commitment to public service, and potential for advancement in their professions. Prospective-fellows should have a minimum of five years professional experience and should be policy rather than research or technically oriented (the exception is NIDA-funded applicants who must also demonstrate a research orientation).
NOT ELIGIBLE: Recent graduates (even if they have significant positions), university teachers or researchers with no management responsibilities (except in the fields of drug abuse prevention and TOEFL), individuals with less than five years of work experience, individuals with recent U.S. experience (more than 6 months within the last 5 years), individuals who have attended a graduate school in the U.S. for one academic year or more during the seven years prior to August 2011, individuals with dual U.S. citizenship or U.S. permanent resident status.
BASIC REQUIREMENTS: Croatian citizenship, permanent employment in Croatia, university degree, English proficiency
NIDA-FUNDED HUMPHREY FELLOWSHIPS (DRUG ABUSE):
The drug abuse component of the field of public health policy and management emphasizes drug abuse education, treatment, and prevention. Fellowships funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) target more specialized candidates. Appropriate candidates for NIDA-funded Humphrey Fellowships include mid-level researchers, research managers and policy makers in universities, drug abuse prevention or treatment programs, health or social services industries or medical facilities. Candidates preferably should have a doctoral degree or equivalent in medicine, health, behavioral or social science. Professionals employed by social welfare, education or community-based organizations would be appropriate if they meet the general eligibility criteria. Law enforcement candidates are not eligible unless they have a public health focus on drug abuse epidemiology, education, treatment and prevention, and meet the requirements to follow a program based in a school of public health.
NATURE OF THE PROGRAM: It is essential that candidates have a clear understanding of the professional development component of the program. If a candidate's intent is to pursue an advanced academic degree, or to attend a specific university, he/she cannot be nominated for the program. Candidates should also understand that Humphrey maintenance support may not enable them to maintain the standard of living they enjoy at home.
APPLICATIONS: The deadline for receipt of applications is May 1, 2010.
Access on-line application here. ON-LINE APPLICATION WILL BE AVAILABLE FROM APRIL 1, 2010.
ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS: copy of "domovnica"; evidence of employment in Croatia (letter from employer confirming employment); copies of all university diplomas; curriculum vitae.
