Review of Fellows Progress Meetings are scheduled at the end of each academic year. At these meetings, each Fellow is asked to make a presentation about his or her work. The Postdoctoral Fellowship Committee responds with advice to the Fellows. Following these presentations, each Fellow is asked to submit a written detailed plan for their next year of study and training. There are modest increases annually.
Payment is made through the UR payroll every other week.
Typically these funds are used to purchase computers, books, photocopying, postage and the cost of hiring a student or an employee of the Research Services Group for office support or research assistance. Computers purchased with these funds remain the property of the Department at the end of the fellow's 'appointment. Books purchased by the Fellows may remain with the Fellow after completion of the Fellowship. The Department Administrator will provide each Fellow with a periodic report that will detail the amount of funds available. The Department Administrator for Community and Preventive Medicine is available to Fellows to help them with issues related to department administration, including employment issues.
