CHIP GRADUATE STUDENT AFFILIATION

There are a number of benefits that you may experience as a CHIP Student Affiliate.  First, there may be opportunities for collaboration or mentorship with highly-regarded, well-published and funded researchers from across the health behavior change domain.  Through our network of CHIP Affiliates, we can guide you toward graduate research and career opportunities. 

Second, you will receive notice of our CHIP Brown Bag Lecture series that attracts presenters of national and international prominence who share late-breaking research in the fields of health behavior change and health communication related to HIV/AIDS, cancer, obesity, alcohol abuse, diabetes management, and medication adherence.  Search our database of previous presenters here.

CHIP uses a significant portion of its funds to foster new health behavior change research. Specifically, CHIP graduate students may apply annually for grants to conduct preliminary research related to CHIP overarching goals.  Priority is given to promising research likely to develop into a larger study and garner external funding (such as a National Research Service Award proposal through the National Institute of Mental Health).  Click here for further information.
