CHERP HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP Yearly The VA Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion (CHERP), supports two post-doctoral training positions for qualified individuals who wish to develop and enhance skills in health services research. Prior research on medical topics is not required. CHERP has sites in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Post-doctoral trainees will join a rich environment of scholars and educators in health services research at either the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the VA Pittsburgh Health System and their affiliated centers and programs such as the Center for Research on Health Care, or the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and the Philadelphia VA Medical Center and their affiliated centers and programs such as the Leonard Davis Institute and the Wharton School. Although funding is allocated year-to-year, fellows generally remain in the program for two years. Fellows are provided with an annual stipend of $41,000 in the first year and $43,000 in the second year. They also receive a small research budget. There are no teaching, service or payback requirements. Fellows are expected to engage in scholarly projects of their own design under the guidance of senior program faculty. Most fellows also participate in other projects already underway at Penn or Pitt and the affiliated VA Hospital. Applicants must be US citizens and must have completed a Ph.D. in psychology, economics, management, sociology or a related field before the fellowship begins. Physicians are not eligible to apply. Applicants should send a letter detailing their interests, a curriculum vitae, and two or three letters of reference to Marti Trudeau, RN, MPA, CHERP Asst. Director, Philadelphia VA Medical Center, 3900 Woodland Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104-4155, or send e-mail to martha.trudeau@med.va.gov.
