Postdoctoral Fellowship Opportunities
- Our program is dedicated to addressing the leading cause of pediatric mortality by providing post-doctoral research training on the prevention of firearm injuries among children and teens. The Institute was awarded a National Institutes of Health – National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)-funded T32 Training Grant in 2022. This grant addresses the critical need to build a continuous pipeline of research scientists focused on addressing the leading cause of pediatric mortality by establishing the nation’s first post-doctoral program providing research training on the prevention of firearm injuries among children and teens. The overarching goal of this program is to build a diverse cadre of research scholars with two-year multidisciplinary training in the science of pediatric firearm injury prevention that will allow them to develop academic careers as independent research scientists making significant contributions to our understanding of this public health disease, as well as to developing and rigorously testing evidence-based prevention strategies.
