The 2017 application period for PHAP candidates has closed. Applications for next year will open in January 2018.
PHAP candidates must apply for the two-year, paid training program through the USAJobs website. Applicants must first register on USAJobs.gov to submit an application.
After all submissions have been reviewed, a select number of candidates will be contacted by email and asked to provide additional information through the Fellowship Management System (FMS). Please refer to the timeline below for a detailed description of the application process.
PHAP recommends that prospective candidates return to the PHAP website periodically for updates, including new information about the program and any changes in the application process.
