Fellowship Stipend and Other Financial Support
All applicants must prepare a budget that reflects the employer/organizational or other funding support available to the applicant to support participation in the Fellowship. The Health and Aging Policy Fellows Program will supplement salary support to the extent that it is required and up to the limits indicated below.
Residential Fellows (full-time):
Unless otherwise agreed, the fellow will live in Washington DC from no later than mid-October through September of the fellowship year.
- The program will provide a stipend of up to $100,000 depending upon career stage and level of institutional support.
- A relocation budget will be provided for residential fellows up to a maximum of $4,500.
- Health benefits are available to full-time residential fellows, if not provided by another source, up to a maximum of $400/month.
- The program does not cover employment taxes, compensate for retirement savings, or adjust the stipend for cost-of-living differences.
Non-Residential Fellows (part-time):
All travel to Health and Aging Policy Fellows required events in Washington DC will be reimbursed by the National Program Office. Click here to review these events.
- All non-residential fellows are expected to secure employer/organizational support that will allow them to 1) fully participate in all mandatory events and activities organized by the Health and Aging Policy Fellows Program, including the six-week orientation in Washington DC, and 2) commit 20% of their time to their fellowship placement. Stipends of up to $15,000 are available on a limited basis for those unable to secure full institutional support, with priority given to those early in their careers. Such support will be provided on a case-by-case basis. The degree of institutional support is a consideration when selecting fellows.
- No funds provided by the Health and Aging Policy Fellows Program can be spent on indirect costs to the fellow’s institution as per our funders’ policies.
- Placement-related travel support is available for non-residential fellows, up to a maximum of $10,000.
