The Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) is accepting nominations for the
2006 SOPHE/ATSDR Student Fellowship in Environmental Health Promotion.
=20
This one-year fellowship is designed to recognize, assist and train students
working on research or practice-based environmental health education/health
promotion or environmental justice from the perspective of health education or
behavioral sciences. Included is a $1500 stipend for the student's special
project, one-year SOPHE membership, complimentary annual meeting registration,
and an opportunity to display a poster about the project at the 2007 SOPHE
Annual Meeting.
=20
Eligibility and Requirements:
* Applicants must be enrolled as a full time student in a
masters or doctoral degree program in health education, health promotion,
behavioral sciences, environmental health or a related field.
* Students are not required to be national SOPHE members at the
time they apply.
* Students must submit the original and three copies of: a
completed application form; a current resume or curriculum vitae; and a project
proposal describing the rationale, intended purpose, process/methodology, and
potential contribution or impact of the project in 800 words or less. In
addition, applications should include one letter of recommendation (from an
internship coordinator, preceptor, faculty member or other professional); and
one letter of support from a designated faculty member who plans to work with
the applicant on the proposed project and can verify that the student is
following a course of study in one of the above mentioned disciplines. Letters
should be sealed in envelopes with authors' signatures across the seal.
* Proposed projects in environmental health education and
promotion should address research or practice-based projects in environmental
health education/health promotion or environmental justice from the perspective
of health education or the behavioral sciences.
Proposed projects may be new or on-going, and the applicant must have the
primary role in conducting the project.
* Recipients will be required to submit a brief, mid-year
progress report by April 30, 2007.
* For their final project, recipients must prepare a poster or
presentation for the SOPHE Annual Meeting, Washington, DC, in 2007 (space for a
poster is assured; presentations are competitive and abstracts will need to be
submitted to SOPHE for review). Recipients will also be encouraged to prepare a
manuscript based on their work and submit it for publication in one of SOPHE's
two journals, Health Education and Behavior, and Health Promotion Practice.
=20
Review Criteria:
Proposals will be reviewed by a SOPHE/ATSDR Environmental Health Promotion
Fellowship Selection Committee for their scientific and/or theoretical basis,
originality, and potential contribution to health education's role in
environmental health promotion. Projects may be related to surveillance, risk
factor identification, or intervention development, evaluation or dissemination.
Projects related to the development or use of theory in environmental health
also are acceptable. Specific criteria include the following.
* Research proposals should include: problem identification
and/or rationale for the project; theoretical or conceptual basis; population of
interest; research design and methodology; plans for data collection and
analysis; contribution to knowledge in environmental health education and
promotion.
* Practice-based proposals should include: problem
identification and/or rationale for the project; theoretical or conceptual basis
or related findings from a needs assessment; population served; practice design;
cultural competence of materials; plans for implementation, evaluation and
dissemination; intended contribution to the field of environmental health
promotion.
