Public Health Laboratory Fellowship Program: an APHL-CDC Initiative
When we say “public health laboratory” we mean local, state and territorial government laboratories focused on protecting the public’s health. That includes laboratories performing human, environmental, animal and food testing to monitor for and detect health threats.
Mentors from APHL member or non-member laboratories are encouraged to apply as long as the mission of their laboratory supports public health initiatives. Prior to application submission, please review the host laboratory and mentor requirements outlined below. Learn more about the application process.
Mentor Application Now Open
Applications are now being accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis. There is no deadline to apply!
Fellowship Project Supply Funding
Mentors can apply to receive a reimbursement of up to $10,000 per fellow, per fellow contract year, to support individual fellowship projects. Please see the dropdown below for more details.
Candidate Pool
The Fellow Candidate Pool is now open. Candidates in the Pool before the pause will be required to complete several supplemental questions. Once they have completed and submitted their answers, they will appear in the Pool. You will begin to see more candidates as they complete their submissions.
If you were actively working to find a fellow for your project before the pause, please note that ID numbers have changed and you should not rely on finding the same candidate by their ID number.
Questions About the Application Process?
If you have questions about the application process, please send us an email to fellowships@aphl.org. If your questions cannot be answered over email or you need technical assistance, feel free to attend our weekly office hours on Wednesdays from 3 – 4 pm ET.
