Dear Colleagues,

In 2019, we launched the Agents of Change in Environmental Justice fellowship, a joint initiative between George Washington University Milken School of Public Health and Environmental Health News. Our mission to empower emerging leaders from historically excluded backgrounds in science and academia to reimagine solutions for a just and healthy planet has reached new frontiers. We have trained more than 30 fellows who are advancing environmental and climate justice through expertise in environmental public health, sociology, medicine, earth sciences, engineering, and urban planning. We are making an impact; our fellows are gaining visibility as emerging environmental justice leaders.

We are now recruiting applicants for the next fellowship cohort, which will begin in Fall 2022. Our director, Dr. Ami Zota will be joining the faculty at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health, so the Agents of Change fellowship will be administered through the department of Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia Mailman School of Public Health starting June 2022.

The fellowship requires 60-80 hours of time over 9 months, this includes participating in online peer-based writing workshops and training seminars, writing, incorporating feedback from Agents of Change editors and from other fellows, and disseminating their work and that of other fellows through various platforms. Fellows who complete all the requirements of the program will receive a small honorarium.

Our fellowship is open to early career scientists, scholars, or practitioners from systematically marginalized backgrounds pursuing work related to environmental public health, environmental justice, or ecosystem/climate health or justice. Relevant disciplines may include (but not limited to): environmental health, epidemiology, urban planning, earth sciences, medicine, or sociology. For this cohort, we are particularly interested in fellows who work in the following areas: energy, air pollution, climate change, toxics, plastics, Indigenous environmental issues/rights, food, water quality, and built environment.

We ask your help in distributing this opportunity among your networks, trainees, students, and staff.

Applications are now open and due by April 15, 2022. Potential applicants can learn more about the requirements of the fellowship, eligibility criteria, the honorarium provided, and the application process at https://agentsofchangeinej.org/application/. If you have any questions, please contact us at agentsofchangeinej at gmail.com<http://agentsofchangeinej@gmail.com>.

A one page description of the fellowship is also attached for your convenience.

Sincerely,

Ami + Agents of Change in Environmental Justice team
