NEWChildren's Mental Health Policy Research FellowshipNEW

Are you an early career researcher interested in children’s mental health services? The kinds of mental health services children get as a result of state, federal, or systems policies that mandate that care? Who gets care under those policies -- and is the care is evidence-based? What the impacts of these state, federal, or systems child mental health policies on child and family well-being?

Apply for this fellowship to explore how state, federal, and systems policies shape children’s mental health and well-being. Our one-year transdisciplinary fellowship program (April 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021) offers experiential learning, didactic training, and intensive faculty mentoring to help launch your career in the field of children’s mental health policy research.
