Undergraduate,
Graduate, and Postdoctoral Funding Information
The Committee on Demographic Training (CDT) awards pre- and post-doctoral fellowships annually. Pre-doctoral fellowships are awarded to students already enrolled in one of our doctoral or professional programs. Prospective students should thus apply for admission to and initial funding (typically the first four years of graduate studies) from one of our programs. For more information about applying to a Ph.D. program, contact the corresponding School or Department directly, e.g., the Department of Economics, the Department of Sociology, or the Harris School of Public Policy. To be eligible for further pre-doctoral funding from the CDT, students must have undertaken a curriculum in population research, typically in their second and third year. Please check the CDT site for eligibility requirements to both pre- and post-doctoral fellowships.
Several of the fellowships awarded by the CDT are funded by the National Institutes of Health (T32 mechanism). Minority students and students with disabilities can also apply for a Predoctoral Fellowship directly to the National Institutes of Health (F31 mechanism). All Postdoctoral students can apply directly to the National Institutes of Health for an Individual Postdoctoral Fellowship (F32 mechanism).
