Program Eligibility Criteria

 

To be eligible for this program, applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

​

• Academic Rank: Enrolled in a post-doctoral fellowship program, current employment as an Assistant Professor at any level, or up to an Associate Professor at an R2 University in the United States.

• Education: Completion of a PhD or other research-intensive doctoral degree in nursing/midwifery or a related field.

• Clinical Practice: At least one year of clinical practice as a registered nurse or midwife. A work experience exemption may be requested.

• Work Experience: Previous work experience within health systems and with immigrant populations is desirable though not required. This experience is, however, highly valued for building sustainable programs of research, but is preferred rather than required for applicants with a US-based nursing PhD.

• Research Focus: Intention to build a program of research focused on addressing the factors associated with the health of new Americans, with a specific emphasis on the role of nativity or the migration experience's impact on health.

• Program Commitment: Ability to commit to attending a one week in-person program, participation in virtual program components (15 sessions), and ongoing applied research mentoring.

• Research Training Compliance: Completion of CITI training or equivalent responsible conduct of research training.
