Now Accepting Applications:
2026 Michigan Integrative Well-Being and Inequality Training Program
Applications are now open for the 2026 Michigan Integrative Well-Being and Inequality (MIWI) Training Program.
The MIWI Training Program is a state-of-the-art, interdisciplinary methods training program that prepares participating scholars to investigate the intersection of mental and physical health, with an emphasis on how this intersection relates to health disparities. The training encompasses conceptual frameworks, study designs, data collection needs, and analytic approaches necessary to conduct this innovative research. The program includes an intensive 3-day summer institute in Ann Arbor, Michigan, followed by ongoing collaboration with a mentorship team.
This program is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) through its Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). It is the only NIH-funded program focused on building the methodological expertise needed to address the intersection of mental and physical health. This program will support efforts to increase cross-pollination among interdisciplinary scientific teams. The program also will foster an integrative approach to clinical care and health services programming that can better meet the needs of people with comorbid mental and physical health conditions.
Funding and Eligibility
MIWI is supported by the OBSSR and NIMH training grant R25MH136652. Participation is limited to early career scholars with a doctoral degree.
