Margaret E. Mahoney Fellowship Program

Posted by Commonwealth Fund on March 9, 2015

To honor the legacy of the late Margaret E. Mahoney, the Commonwealth Fund, in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Carnegie Corporation, the New York Academy of Medicine, and others, created a fellowship program for health professional students focused on transforming healthcare delivery systems for vulnerable populations and early childhood health and development.

Now in its second year and administered by NYAM, the Margaret E. Mahoney Fellowship Program provides stipends to medical, dental, nursing, public health, and public policy students so that they can participate in eight- to ten-week research and policy projects focused on addressing the health needs of vulnerable urban populations. Projects must be conducted with or supervised by a senior professional mentor in an academic, government, or nonprofit institution in the greater New York/New Jersey area.

In 2014, NYAM expects to award six fellowships of $4,500. No support for indirect costs or laboratory expenses is provided. Up to $500 may be available to fellows to reimburse certain program-related expenses (for which receipts must be submitted).

Eligible applicants must be students currently enrolled in a medical, dental, public health, public policy, or graduate nursing school in the United States. Applicants also must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, or otherwise authorized to work in the U.S.

See the NYAM website for complete program guidelines and application instructions.

DEADLINE: MARCH 15, 2015
