Risk Science Fellowship Competition

This fellowship will provide summer stipend funding (May-August) and is open to students with an adviser in the School of Public Health.  The goal of this fellowship competition is to enhance education and training in the environmental risk sciences and to better prepare public health students to pursue careers in fields that utilize the risk sciences. 

The central mission of the University of Michigan Risk Science Center is to address important scientific issues that result from human exposure to health hazards, to foster debate on policy using evidence-based risk assessment, to communicate these results to a broad audience, and to provide independent and objective information for informed decision making. 

Areas of particular significance in this competition include

  • exposure assessment
  • hazard identification
  • dose response relationships
  • risk modeling
  • environmental epidemiology
  • statistical methods and models for risk
  • risk management, communication and policy
