KHSP 2010 Call for Applications Deadline Approaching

The deadline to apply for the 2010-2012 cohort of the Kellogg Health Scholars

Program is coming up in two weeks - Wednesday, December 2, 2009, 5:00 p.m.

Eastern. Sixteen

individuals will be selected.

The online application is available at www.kellogghealthscholars.org The Kellogg

Health Scholars Program develops new leadership in the effort to reduce and

eliminate health disparities and to secure equal access to the conditions and

services essential for achieving healthy communities.

Through this two-year post doctoral fellowship program, scholars gain:

*

competence to undertake research adding to our knowledge about the nature of

social disparities in health and about interventions to reduce those

disparities,

*

capacity to partner with communities in carrying out research and building

policy advocacy, and

*

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

health disparities.

The program consists of two tracks at eight different training sites.

The Community

track highlights community-based participatory research (CBPR), and

relationships between academic health disparities research and public health

practice in communities.

The Multidisciplinary track highlights a multidisciplinary approach to studying

the determinants of health inequalities and inequities.  Both tracks emphasize

the translation of research to policy.

Sixteen individuals will be selected for the 2010-2012 fellowship cycle - eight

in the Community Track and eight in the Multidisciplinary Track.  Each

fellowship will provide a stipend of $63,000 in the first year and $64,000 in

the second year, and an annual research fund and other benefits.

Deadline for submitting applications is Wednesday, December 2, 2009, 5:00 p.m.

Eastern.

ONLY online applications are accepted.

improved website at www.kellogghealthscholars.org.
