PhD Funding Opportunities

Please indicate in your application statement if you are interested in being considered for a specific funding opportunity. PhD funding decisions are made at the time of admission and communicated in the acceptance letter.

The following opportunity is available to all doctoral applicants across the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

The C. Sylvia and Eddie C. Brown Community Health Scholars

Please follow the application instructions for this program in the School's application form.

The following opportunities are available to Health Policy and Management applicants.

• Departmental scholarships provide full tuition and a modest stipend for the first two years of the program.
• NIH-sponsored predoctoral training slots in the agencies below for U.S.citizens and permanent residents

Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)
Provides predoctoral support to students interested in health care policy and health services research, specifically primary care policy. Financial support for trainees is available for up to two years of full-time study.

National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
Provides predoctoral support for students focusing on injury prevention. Financial support for trainees may vary.

Interdisciplinary Violence Research Pre- and Post-doctoral Fellowship Program (NICHD)
The Johns Hopkins Interdisciplinary Violence Research fellows program offers exceptional opportunities for doctoral and post-doctoral students interested in the causes, effects, and prevention of violence.

In addition to the above institutional funding provided by these agencies, students may also apply for individual training support (you may not receive both awards.) The individual National Research Service Award (NRSA) may provide tuition and stipend support for up to three years for doctoral candidates planning to undertake research in certain areas. Typically, applications for NRSA's are completed during the student's first year in the doctoral program.

Dissertation Support
Once a student begins work on a dissertation proposal, the Department strongly encourages the student to seek dissertation-support funding. Government agencies and private organizations provide funding for students once they are working on an approved thesis topic.

Additional Sources of Information about Funding

Students admitted without departmental funding or training grant support are expected to have their own funding or be supported through a private sponsor. At this time, the department is unable to provide any assistance to students beyond what is specified in their acceptance letter.
