Application Instructions (due April 30, 2021)
Fellowship support is centered on the transition from graduate school to postdoctoral fellowship. This period is important for trainees as they seek to develop their longer-term research interests, professional identities, and professional networks. However, relatively few avenues for support are available for trainees at this stage, as many funding opportunities for graduate training focus on the early part of graduate school, and many postdoc funding opportunities require the research relationship with the postdoctoral mentor to be well-established. We seek to address this gap in funding opportunities.
To enhance trainee experiences during the graduate-postdoc transition, we provide graduate students at the conclusion of their degree and beginning postdoctoral fellows with support in a number of forms. First, trainees receive financial support during the transition period, to support completion of their graduate degree or to launch their postdoctoral work. Second, conference travel support is provided in order to assist predoctoral fellows in planning for their postdoctoral experience and enable postdoctoral fellows to present their work and position themselves for job opportunities. Third, fellows are provided with opportunities to lead and participate in scientific activities in the Center, with the aims of advancing their own research, enhancing their professional skills, and developing meaningful scientific relationships with Center faculty and other trainees.
Submit fellowship application to stanfordcehg@stanford.edu (2021-22 applications due April 30, 2021, Letters due April 30, 2021).
