Answer

  • Who is eligible to apply for this fellowship?
    • The Fellowship is open to individuals with lived experience related to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH) and other phenotypes of steatotic liver disease (SLD) and/or a background in patient advocacy, whether in SLD or other chronic health conditions. This includes people who have been personally affected by SLD, as patients or caregivers, as well as those who have worked to support, represent, or advocate for the patient community.
  • Do I need prior experience in SLD-related diagnostics or drug development (e.g., research, clinical trials, regulatory processes, or work with the pharmaceutical industry)?
    • No, this type of experience is not required. Applicants may have relevant experience through work related to other chronic health conditions, not necessarily SLD. However, a strong interest in SLD-related engagement is expected.
  • Do I need to have a medical background to apply?
    • No, applicants from all backgrounds are welcome.
  • Is there an age requirement to apply to the Fellowship program?
    • Yes, applicants must be at least 18 years old at the time of application.
  • Can a Fellow reapply to the Fellowship Program?
