| What are ASPH Public Health Graduate Training Programs? |
| The ASPH Public Health Graduate Training Programs are sponsored cooperatively by the Association of Schools of Public Health and various US Government Agencies, to provide leadership training in public health and prevention practice and policy. A training stipend is paid based upon relevant years of experience and varies according to program. Fellows are also provided an allowance to cover health benefits.
|
| |
| Who is eligible to apply? |
| Fellowship applicants must have been granted a graduate degree from an ASPH-member graduate school of public health accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH) within the last five years. Applicants applying for internship positions must be currently pursuing a graduate degree from an ASPH-member graduate school of public health accredited by the CEPH. Click here for a list of ASPH-member schools. Applicants may still be enrolled at a SPH at the time of application, but Fellows must receive their degree prior to the expected start of the training program. The applicant must be a U.S. citizen or hold a visa permitting permanent residence in the U.S. (a 'Green Card') to be eligible for ASPH Public Health Graduate Training Programs. For the PRC Fellowship Program, applicants need to be affiliated with a CDC Prevention Research Center.

| How are Fellows selected? |
| Applications to the fellowship program undergo a formal review process. Applications are objectively reviewed by faculty members from SPH (other than the applicant's institution) on the following criteria: quality of essay and/or project, strength of credentials, previous professional experience; and letters of recommendation. Applications approved by the faculty review are then forwarded to the sponsoring federal agency for technical merit review. Technical advisors review the applications along with the faculty review comments to assess which of the candidates applying for the individual projects are most suited for the fellowship positions. |

| |
| When are training opportunities offered and how long do they last? |
| Most of the fellowships are full time commitments for a one year period. Fellowships may be extended for an additional year, pending available funding and mutual agreement by the fellow, government agency, and ASPH. Internships are full time commitments for 10-weeks.
|
| |
| Where are the training opportunities located? |
| Location depends on the program with which the fellow is involved. Most CDC fellows reside at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, GA; most HRSA and EPA fellows reside within the Washington, DC Metro area. However, many fellows are based at federal offices throughout the US. Most Rosenfield fellows are placed in PEPFAR countries. |
