Humphrey/National Institute on Drug Abuse
(NIDA) Fellowships
These fellowships are designed to provide training in
prevention research, epidemiology, treatment and
substance abuse policy research. Candidates in this
field may be focused on problems of alcohol, drug
and tobacco abuse as well as broader areas of public
health that relate to substance abuse, such as
HIV/AIDS, mental health, medicine, psychology,
social work and counseling. Previous Humphrey
recipients in the substance abuse field have come
from universities, community-based treatment and
prevention program, hospitals, criminal justice
settings and local or national policy agencies.
"The Fulbright Humphrey journey which began from Mizoram gave me a broader
understanding on substance use disorders. The lectures, field trips, interaction with
peers and the experience of living in Virginia will forever shape my personal and
professional life."
