Overview: The National Institutes of Health Climate Change and Health Initiative is seeking to bring Climate and Health scientists from outside the U.S. federal government to work with NIH staff to share knowledge and help build our capacity in the scientific domains outlined in the NIH Climate Change and Health Initiative’s Strategic Framework.

Program Details: Climate and Health (CH) Scholars will be hosted by an NIH home Institute, Center, or Office (ICO). During their time at NIH, the Scholar will be invited to collaborate with NIH staff on one or more of a diverse array of research, training, and policy activities that share their scientific knowledge with NIH laboratories, program offices, and the wider NIH community. There will be opportunities for individual or group research collaborations to develop between the Scholar and NIH scientists.

The 2022-2023 Scholar position can be virtual, on-site, or a hybrid placement. Preference will be agreed upon with the host NIH ICO. The program is flexible to accommodate fellows’ preferred schedule of work at NIH. Scholars will be expected to serve 3-12 months, and hours/schedule will be discussed during the interview process.
