The fellowships are part of a continuing ten year (T32-MH20014) grant from the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR).

The fellows will be educated in: * family and community violence * social, ethnic and cultural influences on acts of violence and outcome * ethical issues in the conduct of violence related research * multiple approaches to violence related research * the research base for policy and advocacy initiatives * securing external funding for violence related research * physical and mental health effects of violence The fellowships include clinical and research experiences in violence, including optional foci: HIV/ Violence Interface Substance Abuse / Violence Interface International Violence The grant supports two predoctoral fellowships in Nursing and two in Public Health each year as well as a postdoctoral fellowship in the School of Medicine, the School of Nursing, or the Bloomberg School of Public Health. The predoctoral fellowships include full tuition plus the NIH standard pre or postdoctoral stipend.* The fellowships are for full time study during the academic year and include working as a research assistant approximately 20 hours per week on a violence related research project. A violence research seminar is jointly taught by the entire interdisciplinary faculty (Schools of Medicine, Nursing and the Bloomberg School of Public Health). Application for predoctoral students is through the School of Nursing for Nursing students, and the School of Public Health for Public Health students (with a cover letter indicating you are interested in the Violence predoctoral fellowship). The goal statement for the application should include the student's focus area of violence related research.
