Please share with interested parties regarding the Kellogg Health Scholars Program, a two-year postdoctoral fellowship: We are pleased to inform you that we are recruiting for a 2008-2010 cohort that will begin in fall 2008. The deadline date for submitting an application (online applications only) and letters of reference is Tuesday, January 8, 2008 (11:59 p.m. ET). The Kellogg Health Scholars Program (KHSP) combines the highly successful Community Health Scholars Program (CHSP) and Scholars in Health Disparities Program (SHDP). This program offers two-year postdoctoral fellowships at eight training sites. Eight fellowships are in the Multidisciplinary Track (which is based on SHDP) and eight fellowships are in the Community Track (which is based on CHSP). The first track highlights a multi-disciplinary approach to studying the social determinants of health disparities. The second track highlights community-academic partnering and community-based participatory research. Both tracks highlight the translation of health research into policy. KHSP partners with allies in policy and practice organizations across the country to create a movement aimed at eliminating health disparities and securing equal access to the conditions and services essential for achieving healthy communities. By combining the proven strengths of our antecedent programs, we have created a linked program to develop a cadre of leaders with: the competency to translate research to policies that address health disparities; the capacity to partner with communities in carrying out research and building policy advocacy; and the skills to inform and support policy makers who seek to reduce and eliminate health disparities.
