Culture & Mental Health Services Research Fellows
(NIMH-sponsored training program)
A grant from the National Institute of Mental Health supports a program of research training in ‘clinically relevant medical anthropology’ in the field of culture and mental health services at the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine. Post-doctoral fellows (physicians or social scientists - most often psychiatrists and anthropologists, but also psychologists or sociologists) are supported for one year each to participate in research and associated specialized educational activities with the possibility of renewal for an additional year. In 2008-09, this program is on hold, pending new funding.
