Disability & Policy Research Fellowship
The Disability & Policy Research Fellowship, funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research, is designed to develop and train a cadre of leaders who can advance opportunities for persons with disabilities through policy.
For 2022-2023, we have an opening for a two-year Fellowship position. The Fellowship will provide MDs and PhDs with:
- Mentoring, annual stipend, and benefit
- Professional development opportunities, including funds for conference travel
- Participation in the Health and Aging Policy Fellowship in Washington, DC. Fellows will receive training on current policy issues, communication skills development, and professional networking. They will also work for 9-12 months in a congressional office, federal agency, or advocacy organization.
