Margaret E. Mahoney Fellowship

The New York Academy of Medicine NYAM

The Margaret E. Mahoney Fellowship in Health Policy program offers a unique opportunity for outstanding medical, dental, public health, public policy, and graduate nursing students to conduct summer research projects on early childhood health and development and/or some aspect of health care delivery transformation for vulnerable populations with an emphasis on the policy implications of the research findings. The Fellowship also includes a variety of leadership development activities and skill building in policy advocacy with opportunities to meet local and national health policy leaders. Fellows will receive a stipend of $6,000 intended to cover living expenses. Applicants must propose a research project and research mentor. The project should focus on a health policy issue (government policy at national/state/local level, institutional, or health facility policy) with clear objectives and a plan for making progress on this issue that can be completed during a 10-week period.
