Beginning in 2020, up to two fellows with a demonstrated interest in addressing issues related to substance use and addiction will be designated as Addiction and Health Equity (AHE) Fellows. Preference will be given to applicants with lived experience of drug use and addiction and those whose proposed work intersects multiple marginalized groups (e.g., substance use policy impacting LGBTQ+ communities, or homeless individuals or people with disabilities). 

Applicants may come from all walks of life, including but not limited to-business management, the arts, law, public health, education, architecture, and engineering. Individuals from underserved communities and people of color are strongly encouraged to apply.

Fellowship awards are in the amount of $60,000 for a term of 18 months. Each year, up to 10 individuals are awarded a Baltimore Community Fellowship to implement innovative projects that seek to improve the circumstances and capacity of an underserved community in Baltimore City. Applicants may apply for a fellowship to work under the auspices of a nonprofit organization in Baltimore City, or to work independently.
