Cornell-Hunter Health Equity Research Fellowship

The mission of the Cornell – Hunter Health Equity Research Fellowship is to provide postdoctoral training for researchers in primary care, inpatient care, and health services research focused on health equity. This innovative mentored research fellowship engages physicians, Ph.D.s, and nurses who aim to become extramurally funded independent health services researchers with a research program focused on health equity.

Our program is uniquely designed to deepen trainees’ understanding of health care, local and international healthcare delivery systems, epidemiology of disease, and interventions to improve health outcomes, especially health equity. We offer four focus areas: Primary Care, Health System Redesign, Community-Partnered Research, and Global Health. The two- to three-year fellowship is led by Monika M. Safford, M.D., Margaret L. McNairy, M.D., M.Sc., and Christopher B. Braun, Ph.D. The program will provide trainees with the skills to design and conduct patient-centered and health systems research focused on health equity, and to prepare for NIH K-award submissions by the end of the program.
