The overall goal of the NW Native American Research Center for Health (NARCH) Research Support Fellowship is to increase the number of well-trained AI/AN researchers who are prepared to conduct population health sciences research in diverse settings. We will support undergraduate and graduate AI/AN students interested in population science careers as they undertake and complete mentored research projects.
Fellows will:
- Have many opportunities to increase research competencies by attending skill-building courses in our Summer Research Training Institute.
- Participate in regularly scheduled Zoom and web-based seminars.
- Attend in-person workshops.
- Be matched up with near-peer mentors.
- Receive a travel award to attend national, regional, and local research conferences.
- Receive financial support on an hourly basis ($20/hour; 10 hours per week; up to $7,200 for undergrads and ($27/hour; 20 hours per week; up to $28,080 for graduate students) for research completed.
