STEER Fellowships

All qualified college graduates who are not employed by a pharmaceutical company are eligible to apply for the Hepatitis B Foundation’s STEER Fellowship, which is a training program where individuals work fulltime (and receive a salary) for at least one year in a research setting. Fellows are supervised and mentored by a professional scientist from the Institute for Hepatitis and Virus Research, the Hepatitis B Foundation Lab, or the Drexel Institute. This program is made possible by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

Upon successful completion of the training program, and with the recommendation of their scientific advisor, STEER fellows are then eligible to apply for enrollment in scientific studies leading to a doctoral degree from the University of Oxford. The Hepatitis B Foundation has the unique privilege of sponsoring one of only two such U.S. training programs with the internationally renowned University of Oxford – the first program was started at The Scripps Institute, La Jolla, CA.
