Hubert H. Humphrey Drug Abuse Research Fellowship provides a unique opportunity to study and work with fellow professionals in the United States. NIDA is seeking applications from researchers, treatment providers, prevention specialists, or governmental and nongovernmental organization program planners. The Fellowship will enhance your work by contributing to your understanding of the scientific basis of drug abuse and addiction.
Fellows spend an academic year studying and working with U.S. experts in similar fields.
Through the combination of academic courses and professional experience, Fellows learn about NIDA-supported drug abuse research and the application of research to the development of prevention programs, treatment protocols, and government policy. Former Fellows and their U.S. mentors form the nucleus of a network of scientists who exchange information and collaborate on drug abuse research nationally, regionally, and globally. Fellows enroll in academic courses in relevant subjects, such as epidemiology and biostatistics at The Johns Hopkins University School of Hygiene and Public Health. In addition, they participate in professional development activities and spend 6 weeks in drug abuse research affiliations with NIDA-supported scientists. Finally, Fellows receive guidance in developing research projects to be carried out in their home countries.
