ABOUT CREEW
CREEW will equip frontline health practitioners from conflict zones with the necessary skills that would enable them to conduct research in conflict settings. This translates field based experience into research outputs, mitigating thereby the knowledge lost in conflict settings.
VISION
MISSION
FELLOWSHIP
One of the core activities of CREEW is a mentored fellowship program, which aims to counteract the effects of research and data poverty prevalent in conflict-affected settings. The impetus of the establishment of the CREEW fellowship is to equip frontline health practitioners working in conflict settings with the necessary skills that would enable them to conduct research into the relationship between health and war. The research output will help in forming the practice of humanitarian work especially in conflict affected settings.
The fellowship program adopts a variety of learning modalities including online courses and face-to-face/online training. The fellowship has three components starting with the didactic phase followed by field-based mentored research phase and culminated by the research dissemination phase.
Each fellowship cycle, which spans 24 to 36 months, focuses on a context specific global health challenge.
Didactic Phase
Face to Face and/or online learning modalities
Field-based Mentored Research Phase
Research conducted at country of origin or practice
Research Dissemination Phase
Scholarly outputs (peer reviewed papers, conference abstracts)
