Educate. Advocate. Investigate.

Application guidance

Applicants should demonstrate a clear alignment with the fellowship's core pillars—education, advocacy, and investigation—and articulate how their proposed work will create tangible community impact. The selection committee values specificity of purpose over broad ambition, so proposals should outline concrete objectives, methodologies, and a feasible timeline. Prior experience in community organizing or public health research is advantageous, but a strong personal statement that connects lived experience to systemic issues often carries significant weight. Ensure all application materials are submitted by the stated deadline, and consider reaching out to current fellows or staff for informational conversations to refine your approach.
