Funding Opportunities
Minority Fellowships
NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), which aims to increase the number of minority scientists in biomedical research and enhance the careers of those already in the field here.
Additional fellowships opportunities include:
- U54 Partnership Fellowship Program
This program is designed to ensure a diverse and highly trained workforce to meet the national need for highly skilled faculty and researchers committed to better understand and address cancer and cancer health disparities. - The Yerby Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
Based in the HSPH Division of Public Health Practice, the Yerby program aims to expand the diversity of fellows entering academia in the field of public health, creating scientists and policy analysts for academic leadership. With the help of a faculty mentor, each fellow develops as a scholar and independent researcher. They establish their own research agenda, present their research in local and national settings, gain publishing experience in peer-reviewed journals, learn how to obtain grant support, participate in teaching, and experience the full range of academic life.
- Commonwealth Fund/Harvard University Fellowship in Minority Health Policy
This fellowship prepares physicians, particularly minority physicians, for leadership roles in formulating and implementing public health policy and practice. - California Endowment Scholarship in Health Policy at Harvard University
This program prepares California’s physicians, dentists, and mental health professionals for health-policy leadership positions in a multicultural and ethnically diverse society.
- Research Supplements to Promote Diversity in Health-Related Research (Admin Supp)
This administrative supplement is designed to provide support for research experiences for individuals from underrepresented groups throughout the continuum from high school to the faculty level in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral and social sciences.
