Mentorship Applications

If you are interested in applying to be a mentor, please review the information on this page and then complete the application. ​​Scientists from APHL member or non-member laboratories are encouraged to apply as long as the mission of their laboratory supports public health initiatives. 

When we say “public health laboratory” we mean local, state and territorial government laboratories focused on protecting the public’s health. That includes laboratories performing human, environmental, animal and food testing to monitor for and detect  health threats. 

Tips for Successful Mentor Applicants:

• Have potential mentor(s) in mind to match with fellow(s)/intern(s)
• Have an idea of what laboratory projects a fellow/intern could assist your laboratory with
• Be prepared for a mentor to submit a host application on behalf of the laboratory
• Have a workspace prepared for the fellow/intern and be ready to onboard and welcome them! 
• Inform your supervisor or laboratory director that you are applying to host an intern or fellow
