HSHPS Graduate Fellowship Training Program
The HSHPS Graduate Fellowship Training Program (GFTP) provides paid and unpaid training opportunities for graduate and doctoral students and recent graduates interested in working on Hispanic health research within government agencies and academic institutions.
Fellows are placed throughout the United States and Latin America within government agencies and academic institutions. All HSHPS fellows work alongside a mentor, an experienced researcher or senior staff member; assist with a research project as it relates to minority health issues; and participate in a series of professional development seminars.
The fellow will be placed within a government agency or an academic institution where they will be matched with a mentor, an experienced staff member of the agency or institution, depending on their area of interest, experience and availability of projects. The fellow will assist their mentor with various aspects of a project and attend weekly seminars on professional development and health disparities.
