The University of Washington’s Center for Disaster Resilient Communities is offering a hands-on training program in environmental and public health disaster research methods and skills for up to 25 advanced graduate students and early career hazards and disaster researchers from across the United States. This training program aims to provide a launchpad for scholars to build on and carry out their own disaster and hazards research projects as well as opportunities for interdisciplinary networking and mentorship.

This fellowship includes a weeklong in-person intensive at the University of Washington Seattle Campus from July 27-31, 2026 followed by a year of online monthly workshops all of which include research and professional support from program faculty.

Please visit our program web page or view this flyer for information on eligibility, application instructions, and timelines. Applications will be accepted until March 27, 2026 (9 PM PDT) and will be reviewed based on the applicant’s experience in public health and disasters, capacity to implement skills and knowledge from the fellowship, and commitment to reciprocal and ethical research practices. Priority acceptances will be released by April 30, 2026. Need-based travel stipends are available.
