Project Description:
The Excellence in Mentorship of UnderRepresented Groups (EMURG) for Health Equity Leaders 12-Month Fellowship Program supports federal public health careers and professional development to address health disparities. EMURG Fellows will be placed in one of the Department of Health and Human Services Agencies. The fellowship aims to provide educational and professional development opportunities for under-represented graduate-level scholars interested in addressing public health, mental health, maternal and child health, and health disparities within the federal government.
