Master (or doctor) the possibilities

["Stabin, Michael" <michael.g.stabin@vanderbilt.edu>]

Two funding opportunities for graduate studies in health physics are

worth mentioning. 



1) The US DOE's Nuclear Engineering and Health Physics (NEHP)

fellowship/scholarship program is described at

www.musc.edu/specialprograms and has a Jan 31, 2005 deadline. There are

many good HP university programs participating in the NEHP program,

including Vanderbilt's

(http://sitemason.vanderbilt.edu/physics/graduate/healthphysmasters).



2) The National Science Foundation funds graduate studies in Physics and

Astronomy (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2004/nsf04615/nsf04615.htm), the

current deadline for submissions is Nov 30, 2004. The Vanderbilt Health

Physics program is taught through the Physics and Astronomy Department

(http://www.physics.vanderbilt.edu/), my primary appointment in the

Radiology Dept notwithstanding. Applications to the NSF will probably

need some context - cite the "Capital Crisis" noted in the Sept 2004 HP

newsletter by Kevin Nelson and the country's anticipated growth in

energy needs, that will surely require a growth in the need for trained

health physicists.
