DOCTRID-MSU Hegarty Fellows
Michigan State University and RESPECT are co-funding a total of 9 fellowships to provide training for postdoctoral researchers that have interests in the areas of autism spectrum disorders and intellectual and other neurodevelopmental disabilities. These are called the MSU-Hegarty Fellowships, named in honour of the late Sister Martha Hegarty who was a visionary and leader in the design and development of DOCTRID.
These two-year appointments are co-located at MSU and in one of our DOCTRID partner universities in Ireland.
