Trainee Funding Opportunities

Predoctoral Funding Opportunities

While GW SMHS provides funding for PhD students, we strongly encourage students to apply for external funding. Having a fellowship during your graduate study will make you more competitive when you apply for a job after graduation. You should consider applications to PhD fellowships as well as travel awards to professional meetings. This listing below, arranged by application deadline, highlights many of the fellowships available. Please note that some fellowships are available only to U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents, while others are also available to international students. 

For international opportunities, please also see the NIH Fogarty International Center’s list of fellowships.

Use PIVOT to do your own search! See how these searches were done below, and feel free to tailor your search. Please contact Research Workforce Development at gwsmhsresearch [at] gwu [dot] edu (gwsmhsresearch[at]gwu[dot]edu) to report any errors in these listings.
