Applications for MLA's Cunningham Memorial International Fellowship will be accepted up until 30 November 2008.
The award is given annually to citizens or permanent residents from countries outside the United States or Canada who have both an undergraduate degree and a master’s level library degree and are working or preparing to work in a health sciences library in their countries. The program provides a learning experience that may consist of a stay in the United States at one or more medical libraries. Based on a pilot program for the 2007 Cunningham Fellowship, the format and duration of the 2009 program could vary from two weeks up to a period of three months. The Cunningham Fellowship was established in 1967 and named in honor of Eileen Cunningham.

To date, two Australians have been awarded the Fellowship - Francis Bludhorn in 1987 and Saroj Bathia in 2003. Reports of Saroj's experiences are available on the MLA website.
