SOPHE/ATSDR Student Fellowship in Environmental Health Promotion

The Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) is accepting nominations for
the 2005 SOPHE/ATSDR Student Fellowship in Environmental Health Promotion.

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 an $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 2006 SOPHE Annual Meeting.

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, 2006.

*     For their final project, recipients must prepare a poster or
presentation for the SOPHE Annual Meeting, Boston in 2006 (space for a

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.

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
