The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) are now accepting applications for the 2014 Genetics and Public Policy Fellowship and the new Genetics Education Fellowship. 

 

The Genetics and Public Policy fellowship is designed as a bridge for genetics professionals wishing to transition to a policy career.

The inaugural Genetics and Education Fellowship is designed for genetics professionals with an advanced degree who are early in their careers and interested in the developing their expertise in national genomic literacy efforts, science education policy and program development. This fellowship provides professional experiences within NHGRI, ASHG and federal or not-for-profit educational agencies.
