The Her-Health Research Fellowship is now accepting applications for its next cohort. This free, fully online global health fellowship is designed specifically for young women aged 18–30 who are passionate about women’s health, public health, and using research to drive meaningful social change.
This fellowship offers a rare opportunity to build real-world research skills from the ground up, receive guidance from experienced mentors, and contribute to solutions that address pressing women’s health challenges globally. Importantly, no prior research experience is required—curiosity, commitment, and motivation are what matter most.
About the Fellowship
The Her-Health Research Fellowship combines foundational research training with hands-on, team-based projects focused on priority issues in women’s health and global health. Fellows work collaboratively to explore real problems, analyze data, and translate evidence into policy-relevant, community-centered recommendations.
Through structured learning modules, mentorship, and applied research tasks, participants gain both the confidence and competence needed to engage in research, policy advocacy, innovation, or program design within the health and development space.
What You Will Gain
As a Her-Health Research Fellow, you will benefit from:
✅ Practical research skills — including formulating research questions, data collection methods, basic analysis, academic and policy writing
✅ Mentorship and guidance from professionals in research, public policy, innovation, and global health
✅ Hands-on experience in women’s health, public health, and social impact research
✅ Exposure to policy briefs and solution design, learning how evidence informs decision-making
✅ Collaboration within a diverse, global learning community of young women changemakers
✅ A research-ready portfolio featuring real outputs you can use for future academic, professional, or advocacy opportunities
By the end of the fellowship, participants leave with tangible skills, increased confidence, and a clearer pathway into research, policy, or impact-driven careers.
