The Population Research Institute (PRI) recently announced a call for applications to the 2025-2027 External Fellows Program. The PRI will welcome a second cohort of the External Fellows grant writing program to PRI’s University Park campus in May 2025.

External Fellows will receive support from PRI to prepare a grant for submission to the National Institute of Health’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The External Fellows will come to Penn State’s campus for four days of intensive grant-writing training, networking, and mentorship at the start of the first year of the program, May 13-16, 2025. External Fellows will become external affiliates of PRI for two years (with possibility of continuing affiliation), will join the PRI grant writing group, and will be welcome to participate in all of PRI’s activities, including our Brown Bag series, our grant writing program events, and our working groups, such as the Migration group, the Population Health group, the Gender and Family Demography group, or the Climate Change and Health group. The External Fellows program is a two-year program open to Early Stage Investigator (ESI) population scientists.
