- RELAXED RESTRICTIONS
- Mentors may now supervise up to two AHA-funded predoctoral fellows AND two AHA-funded postdoctoral fellows.
- AHA does not require fellows to be U.S. citizens or permanent residents.
- SOUND SUCCESS RATES
Success rates last year were 32% for Postdoctoral Fellowships and 34% for Pre-doctoral Fellowships.
Have You Heard?

This includes but is not limited to all academic disciplines (biology, chemistry, mathematics, technology, physics, etc.) and all health-related professions (physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, dentists, physical and occupational therapists, statisticians, nutritionists, etc.).
- Clinical, translational, population, and basic scientists are encouraged to apply.
- AHA strongly encourages applications by women, underrepresented minorities in the sciences, and those who have experienced varied and non-traditional career trajectories.
- Applicants must be AHA Professional Members –- application submission is a member benefit.
