USDA Shares ASPPH’s Announcement for the Next ASPPH/USDA Rural Health Fellowship!
The Association of Schools and Programs of Public Health (ASPPH) has announced the 2025-2026 ASPPH/USDA Rural Health Fellowship opportunity for recent graduates.
The ASPPH/USDA Rural Health Fellowship opportunity launched in 2023. The USDA Rural Health Liaison has been successful in securing two additional years since (2024-2025, and now 2025-2026). The new one-year fellowship will begin in June 2025.
By participating in the ASPPH/USDA Rural Health Fellowship Program, the selected fellow will have the opportunity to:
- contribute to USDA programs related to rural health
- lead the development of tools to better understand and access USDA programs that can be used by federal and non-federal partners
- prepare and implement rural health initiatives or strategies with USDA programs and federal and non-federal partners; and
- build and maintain relationships across USDA and between USDA and partners
The Fellowship will be based in Washington, DC, but hybrid/remote candidates will be considered. The position is a full-time training opportunity for one year (estimated June 2025 – June 2026), with the possibility of a one-year extension. Detailed program information and all application instructions can be accessed on the ASPPH application website.
To be eligible for this program, applicants must have received their Masters or Doctorate degree prior to the beginning of the fellowship (no later than June 2025) or within the last five years (no earlier than May 2020). Graduate degrees must come from an ASPPH member graduate school or program of public health accredited by the Council on Education for Public Health (CEPH). All applicants must be US citizens or hold a visa permitting permanent residence (“Green Card”) in the US to be eligible for the fellowship program.
Application deadline is 11:59 PM ET Thursday, January 9, 2025.
