MICEFA (Interuniversity Mission for the Coordination of Franco-American Exchanges), Paris, France, is a non-profit organization promoting cultural, scientific, technological and industrial cooperation between France and the U.S. It administers the HMS Harold M. English Research Fellowship in Cardiology on behalf of Harvard Medical School. Appointees are graduates of the University of Paris Medical Schools and affiliated institutions and are selected through a collaboration between Harvard, the National Academy of Medicine of France, and the French Society of Cardiology. The Harold M. English Fund sponsors two consecutive years of education and training in cardiology research at a Harvard-affiliated hospital. MICEFA also works to provide two-month clinical elective opportunities for HMS students in any of the hospitals affiliated with any Parisian school of medicine.
