Over 25 faculty researchers and a large team of research staff support the efforts and learning of trainees. All fellows will conduct mentored research and will be eligible to earn an MPH, MS, or PhD in research. Stipend and tuition are provided along with an allowance for travel and research expenses. Research foci include behavioral medicine, health psychology, mind-body and integrative interventions, cancer prevention and screening, health disparities, comparative effectiveness, genetics, cancer education, molecular epidemiology, symptom control, palliative care, and more.
Eligible candidates will have an MD, DO, PhD or equivalent doctoral degree and a demonstrated commitment to a research career that focuses on older adult populations.
