Goal Statement:A goal statement is required, two pages maximum. Please include the following in your statement:

1) your plans for advancing global health at your university and more broadly in China 

2) your primary research, teaching and/or service interests

3) examples of your work in low or middle income countries outside of China or, if you have not worked outside of China, your work with marginalized Chinese populations or communities

Letters of Recommendation:  Three letters of recommendation are required.   At least one letter must be from a person who holds a senior institutional leadership position at your University.  Other letters can be from other colleagues at your university or from a colleague at an external institution working in partnership with your university. It is helpful, but not essential to include at least one letter from someone who is known by UW faculty. The letters should address how the authors envision your role and potential contributions in strengthening global health capacity at your university and in China, more broadly.  They should also comment on your strengths and areas in which training and mentoring through the Faculty Scholars Program would be particularly beneficial. Letters from senior leaders at your university should include specific examples of institutional support that will be provided for you and for development of global health capacity.

Curriculum Vitae (CV) is required.

English Proficiency:  An English language proficiency test is not required to participate in the Faculty Scholars Program.  However,  as a self-assessment guide, we have listed below the scores that we generally require of our graduate students to be successful in our courses. The test can also be a good tool if you decide you would like to assess your English proficiency.
