VA Associated Health Post-Doctoral Fellowships
This two-year Fellowship is intended to train creative,
independent, ethical and productive leaders in health
services research who will advance the VA's research
agenda far into the future. It is open to United States
citizens who have recently completed a doctoral degree
in any of the professional disciplines of health services
research, such as the social and behavioral sciences,
epidemiology, statistics, management, and nursing.
VA Nursing Fellowships
The Postdoctoral Nurse Fellowship Program is designed
to provide nurses, who have earned doctoral degrees,
the opportunity to broaden their scientific or research
background, or to extend their potential for clinical
research in nursing. The major goal of the Postdoctoral
Nurse Fellowship Program is to develop a cadre of clinical
nurse researchers who will be able to:
(a) conduct clinical nursing research;
(b) secure funds for clinical studies through grants;
(c) foster communication of clinical research findings through presentations
and publications; and
(d) promote integration of significant research findings into the clinical care
of patients.
This fellowship program was developed in collaboration with the Nursing Services
Office and is funded both by the Office
of Academic Affiliations and the Office of Research and Development.
