The NAM Fellowships for Health Science Scholars allow exceptional early-career academic professionals to participate in evidence-based health care or public health studies that affect the health of the American people. Through direct involvement in health- and medicine-related work of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, the fellowship prepares early-career investigators to contribute to the future of health care while accelerating their own career development.

Currently, the program comprises 10 distinct fellowship opportunities across diverse areas of focus. Click to learn more about terms and requirements for each fellowship.
