ARLG Fellowships

The ARLG Fellowship lasts up to two-years and is a fully funded, competitive opportunity to acquire expertise in antibacterial resistance clinical research. The ARLG Fellowship is designed for infectious diseases fellows interested in pursuing research, training, and a subsequent career in the patient-oriented study of antibacterial resistance. Recipients will be integrated into the ARLG mission and programs.

Recipients of the award will receive:

Salary for two years of ID fellowship.
Mentoring in antibacterial resistance research.
Formal training in epidemiology or statistics at the Duke University School of Medicine Clinical Research Training Program, or an equivalent program at another institution. Costs for this epidemiology and statistics coursework will be paid by the ARLG.
Mentoring from senior mentors who are part of the ARLG.
Training in confidentiality, patient safety, and regulatory affairs.

ARLG is committed to a community of learning where fellows from diverse backgrounds and experiences are supported in their professional and intellectual goals and pursuits. We actively encourage qualified fellows from every background to apply.

“ARLG is not merely a funding mechanism; rather, it is a community of scientists who ardently pursue improved human health through a better understanding of the optimal prevention, detection, and management of antibacterial resistance.”

Eligibility Criteria

Application and Selection Process

Candidate background, goals and objective (1-2 pages)

Candidate's Plan for Career Development/Training Activities during Award Period (1-2 pages)

The career development/training activities plan during the award period will depend greatly on the candidate’s background. We expect the plan to vary from application to application.
The candidate and the mentor are jointly responsible for the preparation of the career development plan. A timeline is often helpful. The mentor, in consultation with the applicant, may form a mentoring team (or an advisory committee) to assist with the development of the program of study or to monitor the candidate's progress through the career development program.
The didactic (if any) and the research aspects of the plan must be designed to develop the necessary knowledge and research skills in scientific areas relevant to the candidate's career goals. The candidate must demonstrate they have received training or will participate in courses that will help them achieve their short term and long term academic goals.
It is mandatory that applicants include some planned coursework or completed coursework demonstrating proficiency in clinical research in epidemiology and statistics that are part of traditional MS or MPH coursework. This coursework must allow the researcher to be an expert in patient-oriented research in antibacterial resistance. Examples include coursework in clinical trials, cohort design, case-control design. Epidemiology skills, and statistics skills in these areas are required.
