ASHG Fellowships
ASHG and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) co-sponsor two fellowships annually to support early-career genetics and genomics professionals with an advanced degree who wish to make a career transition.
Fellowship Overviews
The Genetics & Public Policy Fellowship, offered annually since 2002, is designed for individuals interested in the development and implementation of genetics-related health and research policies at a national level. The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in policy analysis at NHGRI and ASHG, and to work directly within the U.S. Congress.
The Genetics Education & Engagement Fellowship is designed for individuals interested in developing and implementing genetic and genomic literacy, engagement, diversity, and/or professional development initiatives for K-12, undergraduate, graduate, post-graduate, and professional audiences. The fellow will participate in rotations at NHGRI and ASHG, and typically a third organization involved in genetic and genomic literacy, engagement, diversity, or professional development.
