The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease will provide support for pre-doctoral fellows in the areas of Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Biodefense during each academic year. Trainees are awarded a yearly stipend and tuition assistance.
In addition to numerous faculty collaborations within Infectious Disease Epidemiology, trainees have the opportunity to collaborate with faculty within the Harvard School of Public Health, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the Harvard Medical School.
Training is available to doctoral students who will have completed their first year of a public health degree program. Students in Epidemiology, Biostatistics, or Immunology and Infectious Disease are encouraged to apply. US citizenship or permanent residency is required.
Contact us for additional information about this program.
Harvard University T32 HIV Research Training Funds
The goal of the program is to train both MD and PhD investigators for careers in HIV research. Pre- and post-doctoral positions are available annually. Potential areas of investigation include all areas of HI V/AIDS research, ranging from the laboratory to the clinic. Funding is generally available for two years from two Harvard T32 grants, one concentrating primarily on laboratory-based studies (P.I. Dr. Martin S. Hirsch) and the other on clinical epidemiology and outcomes research (P.I. Dr. Kenneth A. Freedberg). Both training grants cover salary or stipend, travel to professional meetings, and other training-related expenses and one will cover tuition for the Program in Clinical Effectiveness at Harvard School of Public Health or PhD coursework for some fellows.
Applicants must be nominated by a mentor who is an independently funded investigator. Contact Janet Steele for additional information about these programs.
Deadline: January annually; see link for details

O.C. Hubert Student Fellowship in International Health
Deadline: April annually
The O.C. Hubert Student Fellowship in International Health, endowed by the O.C. Hubert Charitable Trust, is designed to encourage students to think of public health in a global context.
Established in 1999, the fellowship provides an opportunity for third- and fourth-year medical and veterinary students to gain public health experience in an international setting. Hubert fellows spend four to twelve weeks in a developing country working on a priority health problem in conjunction with CDC staff. Through these experiences, students establish relationships with, and receive training from, recognized experts from CDC and other national and international health agencies.
Information and Application
Deadline: June 1, October 1, February 1 annually
This funding program features a new opportunity for promising postdoctoral scientists to receive both mentored and independent research support from the same award.
The initial 1-2 year mentored phase will allow investigators to complete their supervised research work, publish results, and search for an independent research position. The second, independent phase, years 3-5, will allow awardees who secure an assistant professorship, or equivalent position, to establish their own research program and successfully apply for an NIH Investigator-Initiated (R01) grant.
