Call for Applications: Karel Styblo Public Health Prize Applications close: 30 June 2014 The Karel Styblo Public Health Prize acknowledges a health worker (physician or lay person) or a community organisation for contributions to tuberculosis control over a period of 10 years or more. This prize is named in honour of Dr Karel Styblo, Director of Scientific Activities at The Union from 1979 to 1991, who played a central role in developing The Union TB control model that was later branded by WHO as DOTS (directly observed treatment, short course). The award consists of a full fellowship to attend Union World Conference on Lung Health (including full delegate badge, travel, accommodation and per diem), US$ 2,000 and a certificate presented at the conference. The 2014 award will be presented at the Opening Ceremony of the 45th Union World Conference on Lung Health in Barcelona, Spain (28 October–1 November 2014). Honorees may request that the fellowship portion of the award be used for a delegate who would not otherwise be able to attend the conference. Honorees unable to attend the conference may designate a colleague to accept the award on their behalf. Please be advised that incomplete and/or late applications will not be considered for the award.
