Health Behavior and Health Education 
Ph.D. Funding Information
Although the department works diligently to secure funding for its doctoral students, it is rare for incoming students to be offered multiple years of funding at the time of admission. However, most doctoral students in the department successfully compete for available funding at the department, School, University, and national levels and complete their programs with a wide array of research and/or teaching experiences.
There are a variety of funding opportunities for HBHE doctoral students, including:
Fellowships
Fellowships are available from a number of on- and off-campus sources, including the Population Studies Center, the School of Public Health's Center for Research on Ethnicity, Culture, and Health (CRECH), and Rackham.
Graduate Student Instructor positions
The department employs a small number of Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs), positions that provide funding and teaching experience. In addition to the GSI positions available in the department, HBHE doctoral students have been employed as GSI's by other units on campus, including Women's Studies, Communications, Biology, Psychology, and Sociology. A complete list of GSI postings across the university can be found at the Academic Human Resources page. Most departments make their applications available early in the semester for positions the following semester or year.
Graduate Student Research Assistants positions
Specific researchers often have funds for graduate student research assistants (GSRAs) positions that provide funding and research experience. |
