Subject: Kellogg Health Scholars Program: 2008-2010 Call for

Applications (Second Posting)

Please share with interested parties regarding the Kellogg Health

Scholars Program, a two-year postdoctoral fellowship:

We are pleased to inform you that we are recruiting for a 2008-2010

cohort that will begin in fall 2008. The deadline date for submitting an

application (online applications only) and letters of reference is

Tuesday, January 8, 2008 (11:59 p.m. ET).

The Kellogg Health Scholars Program (KHSP) combines the highly

successful Community Health Scholars Program (CHSP) and Scholars in

Health Disparities Program (SHDP). This program offers two-year

postdoctoral fellowships at eight training sites. Eight fellowships are

in the Multidisciplinary Track (which is based on SHDP) and eight

fellowships are in the Community Track (which is based on CHSP). The

first track highlights a multi-disciplinary approach to studying the

social determinants of health disparities. The second track highlights

community-academic partnering and community-based participatory

research. Both tracks highlight the translation of health research into

policy.

KHSP partners with allies in policy and practice organizations across

the country to create a movement aimed at eliminating health disparities

and securing equal access to the conditions and services essential for

achieving healthy communities. By combining the proven strengths of our

antecedent programs, we have created a linked program to develop a cadre

of leaders with: the competency to translate research to policies that

address health disparities; the capacity to partner with communities in

carrying out research and building policy advocacy; and the skills to

inform and support policy makers who seek to reduce and eliminate health

disparities.

The Multidisciplinary Track training is provided at the following sites:

Harvard University

University of California, San Francisco and Berkeley

University of Pittsburgh

University of Texas, Houston

The Community Track training is provided at the following sites:

s Hopkins University

State University

University of Michigan

University of North Carolina AT Chapel Hill

Each fellowship provides an annual salary of $61,000 in the first year,

$62,000 in the second year, an annual research fund and other benefits.
