Margaret E. Mahoney was a Fellow in the New York Academy of Medicine and a member of NYAM’s Board of Trustees from 1991-1999. She was president of The Commonwealth Fund from 1980 to 1995, and a pioneer in the establishment of health care philanthropy. Throughout her distinguished career, Margaret was passionately committed to addressing the health care and developmental needs of vulnerable populations, especially children.
To honor the legacy of Margaret E. Mahoney, and her commitment to improving health care for vulnerable populations, The Commonwealth Fund, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation, The New York Academy of Medicine, and other founding donors announce the creation of a new fellowship program for health professional students, focused on transforming health care delivery systems for vulnerable populations and early childhood development and prevention.
The Margaret E. Mahoney Fellowships will provide stipends to support medical, dental, nursing, and public health students wishing to conduct research projects or internships focused on the health of vulnerable urban populations. Student projects will focus on transforming health care delivery systems and improving access to high-quality, cost-effective care, including preventive services, for low-income, uninsured, and minority urban populations, and/or early childhood health and development. Eligible applicants must be students currently enrolled in medical, dental, nursing, or public health school in the New York/New Jersey area, and must be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident, or authorized to work in the U.S. throughout the award period. Projects will be conducted over a 10- to 12-week period during the application year and must be conducted with or supervised by faculty mentor.
Please check this website in the Fall of 2012 for information on the 2013 application cycle.
The mission of The New York Academy of Medicine is to advance the health of people in cities. Within this urban health framework, NYAM’s current priorities are to create environments in cities that support healthy aging; to strengthen systems that prevent disease and promote the public’s health; and to implement interventions that eliminate health disparities.
