Dear SPH Community,

We are pleased to announce the Teach Think Do (TTD) Fellowship, formerly known as the JEDI Fellowship, is now accepting project proposals from faculty and staff for the Fall 2025 – Spring 2026 academic year.

This fellowship is an initiative that provides students with the opportunity to serve as paid consultants working with faculty and staff to advance public health excellence. The fellows will support by ensuring our curricula, course materials, trainings, and research activities align with the School and the needs of the global public health landscape. More information about the TTD Fellowship can be found here.

Over the past year, we hosted 7 fellows supporting 5 projects at the School, and we are grateful to our 2024 – 2025 class of fellows and supervisors for their great work over the past several months. We are delighted to be heading into our third year and starting the application process.

We encourage staff and faculty to submit applications for a TTD Fellowship project. If selected, you will receive the support of a fellow that is centrally funded.

To participate in the program, faculty or staff members can submit a proposal that outlines a student project that engages with the work of any particular unit and advances our global public health landscape. The aim is that the projects in which the fellows engage will advance unit (e.g., department, administrative unit) goals rather than individual staff or faculty goals. Projects lengths can be either a semester or an academic year and require between 5-10 hours per week for a fellow. All fellows will be guaranteed 1 semester in the fellowship program and can discuss with their supervisor about participating in the fellowship for a second semester.

Proposals for TTD Fellowship projects are due on Wednesday, June 18th and will be reviewed by the Practice Advisory Committee and TTD Fellowship Leadership Team. Selections will be made by July 1 and and the program will commence this fall.

Please submit your project proposal to sphdi@bu.edu.

All the best,

Yvette Cozier, DSc
Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice
