Subject: Kellogg Health Scholars Program: 2008-2010 Call for
Applications (Second Posting)

Please share with interested parties regarding the Kellogg Health
Scholars Program, a two-year postdoctoral fellowship:

We are pleased to inform you that we are recruiting for a 2008-2010
cohort that will begin in fall 2008. The deadline date for submitting an
application (online applications only) and letters of reference is
Tuesday, January 8, 2008 (11:59 p.m. ET).

The Kellogg Health Scholars Program (KHSP) combines the highly
successful Community Health Scholars Program (CHSP) and Scholars in
Health Disparities Program (SHDP). This program offers two-year
postdoctoral fellowships at eight training sites. Eight fellowships are
in the Multidisciplinary Track (which is based on SHDP) and eight
fellowships are in the Community Track (which is based on CHSP). The
first track highlights a multi-disciplinary approach to studying the
social determinants of health disparities. The second track highlights
community-academic partnering and community-based participatory
research. Both tracks highlight the translation of health research into
policy.

KHSP partners with allies in policy and practice organizations across
the country to create a movement aimed at eliminating health disparities
and securing equal access to the conditions and services essential for
achieving healthy communities. By combining the proven strengths of our
antecedent programs, we have created a linked program to develop a cadre
of leaders with: the competency to translate research to policies that
address health disparities; the capacity to partner with communities in
carrying out research and building policy advocacy; and the skills to
inform and support policy makers who seek to reduce and eliminate health
disparities.

The Multidisciplinary Track training is provided at the following sites:

Harvard University

University of California, San Francisco and Berkeley

University of Pittsburgh

University of Texas, Houston

The Community Track training is provided at the following sites:

Johns Hopkins University

Morgan State University

University of Michigan

University of North Carolina AT Chapel Hill

Each fellowship provides an annual salary of $61,000 in the first year,
$62,000 in the second year, an annual research fund and other benefits.
