About this Fellowship

National leadership program for second-year doctoral students in any academic discipline who want to apply their research to help build healthier and more equitable communities.

The program is specifically for students from populations underrepresented in specific doctoral disciplines and/or historically marginalized backgrounds. Examples of eligible individuals include, but are not limited to, first-generation college graduates, individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, individuals from communities of color, and individuals with disabilities.

The program is designed for doctoral students who do not have policy and public health experience, although students from all disciplines are eligible to apply.

Students must apply in their first year of graduate study to begin the program during their second year, and must have at least three years of doctoral study remaining.

Applications typically open in January and are due in March.


Award Value

Up to $30,000 annual stipend for up to four years of doctoral study.
