Can an applicant be offered a fellowship, but defer for a year?
• What are the locations for the fellowship program? Answer: Most of the fellows will be housed at the FDAs new facilities in White Oak, Maryland. Other fellows will be placed at FDA campuses in Rockville, College Park, or Laurel, Maryland. Fellows working on projects at the National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) will work in Jefferson, Arkansas. • What is the potential for being hired at the FDA after the fellowship? Answer: The purpose of this fellowship is to provide an opportunity for the best and the brightest to learn about FDA regulatory science. Although fellows may apply for a permanent position at FDA after the fellowship, there are no guaranteed positions.
