the flexibility to design an individualized 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 have successfully established their own funded research programs with fruitful and fulfilling careers.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></font></span></div>

continue as sponsored investigators. Applications from individuals with disabilities or other underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged. </span><span class="">The Smith-Kettlewell fellowships are open to US Citizens and foreign nationals. </span><span class="">The
