training plan tailored to achieve each fellow’s specific career goals. We train fellows to become independent scientists, with strong support and encouragement for fellows to propose and pursue their own research in close collaboration and mentorship with
one or more of our experienced principal investigators. Many of our fellows who have successfully established their own funded research programs have even been invited to become principal investigators at Smith-Kettlewell with fruitful and fulfilling careers.</font></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; "><font face="Calibri">The fellowships require a Ph.D. or M.D. and are normally awarded for two years<span style="color: red; ">, </span>with our most successful fellows often being invited to continue as sponsored
investigators. Applications from individuals with disabilities or other underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged. The NEI Training Grant requires that fellows be US citizens or permanent residents. </font></span></p>
