    Dear Colleagues, 

     

    The University of Washington's Center for Disaster Resilient Communities is offering a hands-on training program in environmental and public health disaster research methods and skills for up to 25 advanced graduate students and early career hazards and disaster researchers from across the United States. This training program aims to provide a launchpad for scholars to build on and carry out their own disaster and hazards research projects as well as opportunities for interdisciplinary networking and mentorship. 

     

    This fellowship includes a weeklong in-person intensive at the University of Washington Seattle Campus from August 4-8, 2025 followed by a year of online monthly workshops all of which include research and professional support from program faculty.  

     

    Please visit our program web page or view this flyer for information on eligibility, application instructions, and timelines. Applications will be accepted until March 31, 2025 (9PM PDT) and will be reviewed based on the applicant's experience in public health and disasters, capacity to implement skills and knowledge from the fellowship, and commitment to reciprocal research practices. Priority acceptances will be released by May 1st, 2025. Need-based travel stipends are available.

     

    Please share this information and flier to anyone who would be interested!
