NIH Women’s Health Clinical Fellowship

This is a fellowship designed to train scientists to address key issues in women’s health research. For a list of potential mentors and research projects, see http://orwh.od.nih.gov/clinfellowships/projects.html.

The fellowship offers not only the opportunity to carry out clinical, epidemiological or translational research but also to participate in relevant clinical rotations and in the NIH-Duke Training Program in Clinical Research, that leads to a Master’s Degree. Fellows will be expected to attend the Introduction to the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research course during their first year. Available to doctoral-level fellows within five years of receipt of the doctoral degree. Must be U. S. citizen or permanent resident.

Fellowship includes:

• stipend
• travel to one scientific meeting per year
• a supplies and services budget for the laboratory
• money for additional training, to ensure sufficient scientific/medical background through advanced coursework

Applications must be made on-line, by January 15, at http://www.training.nih.gov/transfer/WomensHealthAds.

The Women’s Health Postdoctoral Fellowship is funded by the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (http://www.fnih.org) through a generous grant from AstraZeneca (http://www.astrazeneca.com/) and presented in collaboration with the NIH Intramural Program on Research on Women’s Health, the Office of Research on Women’s Health, and the Office of Intramural Research (http://www1.od.nih.gov/oir/sourcebook/oir/oir-staff.htm).
