SAMHSA Accepting Applications for Prevention Fellowship Program
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is accepting applications for its Prevention Fellowship Program. The Fellowship Program, launched in 2006, is designed to build a workforce of highly competent substance abuse prevention professionals.
Each Fellow will be assigned to a state, community, or local agency to work on projects that promote skills development and knowledge of state-of-the-art prevention practices needed for direct, hands-on substance abuse prevention service work. Web-based training and workshops conducted by leaders in the field will expose Fellows to advances in prevention science, new methods and approaches. Fellows will also have the opportunity to develop critical research, writing, evaluation, and presentation skills under the program’s structured training environment.
Each state agency that serves as a program mentor will collaborate with SAMHSA in the selection of all Fellows, who will begin a two-year assignment with the mentor agency on September 20, 2010. Depending on where they are located, Fellows may receive a stipend of up to $35,000 a year, with an option for a one-year renewal based on their performance and available funding.
This program is part of SAMHSA’s strategic initiative on prevention of substance abuse and mental illness.
