[posted from Community Based Participatory Research listserv]

The Center for the Advancement of Health (CFAH) was awarded a $3.5 million grant from the W. K. Kellogg Foundation “to work to eliminate racial and ethnic health disparities by linking Kellogg Health Scholars, communities, public health practice, research, academic institutions, and policy development.”

This new program is the successor to the two successful postdoctoral programs supported by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation over the past decade – the Scholars in Health Disparities Program and the Community Health Scholars Program. Building on the achievements of these two programs, the Kellogg Health Scholars Program will have two tracks – a Multidisciplinary-Disparities Track and a Community-Disparities Track – and will have the objective of linking research, policy, and community.

Applications for the 13 post doc positions available under this program are online at http://www.kellogghealthscholars.org. Information about the prior programs are available at http://www.cfah.org under programs, Scholars in Health Disparities and at http://www.sph.umich.edu under Community Health Scholars.

Applications for the two year (2006-08) fellowships are due electronically by January 4, 2006.
