Interviews will be held on February 4th and 5th virtually and will last about 30 minutes (or 45 minutes for partnered applicants). Please indicate your availability here by checking any timeslot that you can NOT attend. We will automatically assign interview timeslots and notify you around January 30th if you’ve received an interview and when the interview will take place. Again, check boxes that do NOT work; do not check boxes that you would be available.

Each year, ASF of Alabama works to balance responsiveness to community needs with the interests and passions of our applicants. Research shows that health outcomes are shaped not only by clinical care and health behaviors, but also by social, economic, and environmental factors.

To guide Fellows, ASF uses a results framework so that every activity is connected to a defined goal.

In this section, you’ll be asked to share two project ideas that interest you. For each idea, please include: the topic and performance measure; a description of the need; your project idea; possible community partner site(s); and how you might address this need through a Fellowship project.

You are not committing to either of these ideas, and you do not need confirmation from the potential site partners at this stage. This exercise simply helps us understand how you think about community needs and solutions.

Here, please describe your first idea. You are not committing to undertake either of these ideas and you do not need a commitment yet from the site partner listed; it's just a way to see how you think about community needs.

Here, please describe your second idea. You are not committing to undertake either of these ideas and you do not need a commitment yet from the site partner listed; it's just a way to see how you think about community needs.

Please provide the names and contact information for two individuals.  For Reference #1, applicants should have identified a faculty member who agrees to support you during the year as outlined in the Academic Mentor Agreement (found on our website under “Become a Fellow"). For Reference #2, include anyone else who can attest to your character, either due to personal, academic, or work experience. You do NOT need to submit letters of recommendation from either person, however, we may contact them for a reference check.

By applying to ASF, you understand that successful progress in the program requires Fellows to identify a community site (by April), plan a project (by June), and conduct 200+ hours [or possibly less if a partner project] towards planning and implementing the project (June 2025-April 2026). You also understand that a background check will be run on all who are selected prior to beginning service hours. The stipend is contingent on meeting certain benchmarks throughout the program year, including attending Orientation (April 12-13, 2025) and 80% or more of the monthly meetings, completing the service hours, conducting Pre/Post-Surveys, and submitting a Final Report.
