In September each year, doctoral students at the Harvard School of Public Health may apply for the STRIPED Dissertation Award in Eating Disorders Prevention Research. Doctoral students who have passed their oral exam and whose dissertation research is focused on a topic related to prevention of eating disorders or disordered weight- and shape-control behaviors are eligible to apply. The STRIPED Dissertation Award in Eating Disorders Prevention Research is made possible by the generous support of the Ellen Feldberg Gordon Fund for Eating Disorders Research.
