The Department of Sociomedical Sciences offers a Predoctoral Fellowship in Gender, Sexuality and Health, leading to a PhD degree from Columbia's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The first program of its kind, the fellowship is designed to prepare students for research and teaching careers in gender and sexuality and their impact on reproductive and sexual health. The Department invites applications from individuals interested in a multidisciplinary program that combines rigorous graduate studies in a social science discipline with specialized courses and doctoral research apprenticeships in gender, sexuality, and health.

No more than four fellows can be supported at any one time, so the number of fellows accepted in a given year will vary. Support is available for a maximum of five years, but fellows are strongly encouraged to seek other support once their course work is completed. The program is funded by the Demographic and Behavioral Sciences Branch of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
