Research Fellowship

Director: Lois McCloskey, MPH, DrPH

2025-26 Research Fellowship opportunities are now open. See below to apply!

If you have always wanted to work closely with faculty on a research team, the MCH Research Fellowship could be for you!

Matched to a faculty member and research project, Fellows participate as members of the research team, contributing to and learning about the research process—soup to nuts. Various aspects of the research process, from IRB applications to data collection and analysis to research management and writing. We typically offer 8-10 Research Fellowships each year.

MCH Research Fellows will:

Commit to 8-10 hours per week over a period of 11-12 months
Attend regular research team meetings led by the faculty preceptor and colleagues
Attend a “research fellow roundtable” once per semester (with all research fellows and a faculty member)
Present their work at the annual MCH Forum at the conclusion of the fellowship period (early December)
Submit an abstract and present at a national or regional professional conference (optional)

*This year we are unable to offer stipends due to loss of federal funding.
