The
W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the Center for the Advancement of Health are
pleased to announce recruitment for the 2004
cohort of W.K. Kellogg Foundation Scholars in Health Disparities
Center
For The Advancement of Health: http://www.cfah.org/programs/kellogg_scholars.cfm
This
program challenges post doctoral investigators from a variety of
disciplines such as economics, sociology, political science, public
health and law, to examine the causes and consider policy solutions for
health disparities in race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status. Research
topics funded by this program include the ways by which social, economic,
political, environmental and educational inequalities and institutional
racism play a role in the creation of health disparities, and the
development of policy initiatives that might reduce these disparities.
The
program provides selected individuals stipends of up to $52,500 per year
for one year, plus fringe benefits and a research budget for travel,
computer, courses, supplies and other research related expenses. Scholars
also have the option to apply for a second year, if desired.
Five
Scholars will be funded at one of the following participating sites:
Harvard Center for Health and Society; University of Michigan Institute
for Social Research; Morgan State University Public Health/Urban Health
Policy Center; University of California, San Francisco Center on Social
Disparities in Health; and Columbia University Mailman School of Public
Health Department of Epidemiology.
