EID Fellows

Training Schedule

The Fellow will go through the following steps:

  • Orientation: The Fellow initially visits many DID laboratories and visits with staff of the Division of Epidemiology.
  • Rotation: He/she will then rotate among two to four laboratories for a period of three to four months. Subsequently, an individualized program will be designed to accommodate the needs of the Fellow.
  • Individualized Program: The Fellow may opt to focus on a single project with one mentor; the Fellow may participate in a basic or applied research project in the mentor's field. The extent and level of the research will be determined between the mentor and the Fellow. Alternatively, he/she may opt to rotate through 2 to 4 laboratories for an in-depth rotation for the remainder of the Fellowship.

Fellowship Term

The Fellowship is 1 year for post baccalaureates and 2 years for Postdoctoral fellows.
