Predoctoral Fellowship Program

The Predoctoral Fellowship Program encourages and supports University of Chicago and University of Illinois at Chicago doctoral students who are investigating issues in health promotion economics. The program may provide primary ($12,000 award) or secondary ($2,500 award) support to students.

During the fellowship students will:

  •  Receive individualized mentorship and support during dissertation progress
  • Complete an overview course in health promotion designed to provide a rich, multidisciplinary approach to the theory methods and applications
  • Attend all Health Economic Workshops
  • Attend the annual symposium in June and present their progress on their dissertation
  • Provide the Center with a final, written summary of their activities during the fellowship period and a copy of the completed dissertation and any other papers based on the project as they are completed
  • Acknowledge the Center's support in the dissertation and resulting publications.

Postdoctoral Fellowship Program

The Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is designed to help an individual who has completed a doctoral degree and/or at least two years of research training (e.g. MD plus research fellowship; PhD-including PhDs in the social sciences, public health, or nursing; or PharmD) to develop the knowledge and skills needed for a career in health promotion economics, whether in academia or health policy. 

Criteria for admission to the post-doctoral fellowship program include outstanding intellectual ability, demonstrated achievement and promise in scholarly activity, commitment to an academic career with major emphasis on research in health promotion economics, and interest and appropriateness of mentorship by Center faculty for the proposed research project.
