In order to address the critical need for clinician scientists with the medical training and research experience to investigate problems of environmentally relevant disease in humans, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences supports Ruth L. Kirschstein Individual National Research Service Award Fellowships for MD/Ph.D. and MD/MPH students. Awards provide an annual stipend, an offset of a portion of the tuition and fees, and a research allowance for a period of up to six years. Applicants must be enrolled in an MD program at an accredited medical school, accepted in a related scientific Ph.D. or MPH program, propose to pursue research project in clinical or basic environmental health sciences, and be supervised by a mentor with appropriate scientific research experience when the application is submitted. For the purposes of this award, environmental health is defined as the area of medicine concerned with the development and application of knowledge directed at the etiology, diagnosis, pathophysiological progression, treatment, and prevention of adverse effects from environmental exposures to toxic agents. At the time of the award individuals must be citizens or non-citizen nationals of the United States, or must have lawfully been admitted to the United States for permanent residence.
