Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genomic Science and Health Equity

The doctoral fellowship cosponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (OMHHE) prepares fellows to use genetic, genomic and pharmacogenomic approaches to advance minority health and health equity.

This fellowship program will provide fellows opportunities based upon the research conducted in the laboratories of the fellowship mentors to address basic, clinical, or social and behavioral research related to minority health and health disparities. The fellowship also strives to train a diverse group of scientists who engage in such genetic, genomic or pharmacogenomic research. The fellowship provides an opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary skill set that bridges disparities in minority health and translation of genomic, genetic and pharmacogenomic laboratory research in practice.

Visit the NIH Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genomic Science and Health Equity page for more information.
