Kellogg Health Scholars Program
Kellogg Health Scholars Program is recruiting applicants for its 2008-2010 program that will begin in fall 2008. The deadline for submitting online applications is Tuesday, January 8, 2008
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 8 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:
Johns Hopkins University
Morgan State University
University of Michigan
University of North Carolina, 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.
