social science theory and methods to the study of social factors related to
health status and health care needs, the social structure of health care
delivery systems, and the relation between these systems and the populations
they are designed to serve.
Fellowships are awarded in recognition of academic achievement and in

considered an important aspect of the training of graduate students. Thus,
graduate fellowships include some teaching and research apprenticeship.
