The Brown Scholarship will provide tuition, stipend and research support to two promising doctoral candidates entering the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in the fall of 2011. Brown Scholars will enroll as doctoral students in one of the School's ten departments.
Many chronic diseases and health conditions are overrepresented in minority communities. Researchers are urgently needed in Baltimore and in other urban centers across the country to identify and evaluate public health interventions to improve the health and quality of life of underserved, vulnerable and low-income populations.
Brown Scholars will receive full tuition and an annual $20,000 living stipend for the duration of the doctoral program (up to five years). In addition, scholarship recipients will receive a one-time $10,000 research award during the first three years of the doctoral program to launch a community health project focused on low-income populations in East Baltimore. Such small research stipends can act as seed money to allow doctoral students to begin their research and practice agenda.
Each Brown Scholar will be paired with a faculty mentor who makes a strong commitment to the student’s success in achieving excellence in urban community health research in Baltimore. The faculty mentor will work closely with the Scholar on academic planning, research and practice agendas, and to assure a successful career trajectory.
