Pre- and post-doctoral candidates to be considered
The Ohio State University College of Nursing is considering applications for pre- and post-doctoral candidates for its “Training in the Science of Health Development” (TSHD) program, which is expected to be refunded for 2025.
The TSHD program, which has traditionally been funded by a training grant from the National Institutes of Health, aims to prepare nurse scientists to address social determinants of health (SDOH), promote health equity and enhance health and wellness outcomes across the life-span. Over the past nine years, the TSHD program has successfully engaged 20 pre- and post-doctoral nurse scientists.
The program is led by College of Nursing faculty members Rita Pickler, PhD, RN, FAAN and Mary Beth Happ, PhD, RN, FAAN, FGSA and provides an opportunity for participants to be educated and inspired by experienced professionals from the College of Nursing, other colleges at Ohio State and Nationwide Children's Hospital. Trainees will follow individualized plans, including coursework, seminars and participation in interdisciplinary research projects.
Here are further details about the opportunity for interested candidates:
- Eligibility: Pre-doctoral fellows must be admitted to the Ohio State College of Nursing. Interested post-doctoral candidates should contact Dr. Pickler.
- Funding mechanism: Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Institutional Research Training Grant (T32) from the National Institutes of Health (next iteration of grant funding pending)
- Stipend and benefits: The fellowship covers instructional fees, general fees, learning tech fees and program fees, providing an annual stipend of approximately $26,200 for pre-doctoral trainees and $61,400 for post-doctoral trainees. It also includes $800 per year for travel and health insurance.
- Requirements: All trainees must be U.S. citizens. Pre-doctoral trainees must be enrolled full-time, submit an individual F31 proposal and complete additional coursework. Trainees are expected to engage in ongoing research with their faculty mentors.
