experiences. The annual stipend is based on the Ruth L.

fellows earn $20,772 and the postdoctoral stipend ranges

health insurance coverage, the cost of tuition and fees,
and provides an allowance for supplies (e.g.: computer)
and conference travel. Predoctoral fellows must be
enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Epidemiology at MSU.
