Doctoral Fellowship
The Reproductive Health Workforce Fellowship supports doctoral students whose dissertation research relates to the reproductive health workforce. The goal of the fellowship is to support emerging scholars who are passionate about reproductive health workforce research and to create connections across the multiple disciplines that this research touches. The first group of fellows started in December 2025. Applications for new fellows are currently closed.
Current Fellows
Danya Krueger, MSW, MBA
Danya K. Krueger, MSW, MBA is a PhD candidate in social work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Social Work. Her dissertation research investigates how clinicians conceptualize and experience the politicization of evidence-based reproductive medicine and how these pressures may affect their professional quality of life. She is developing and testing a novel psychometric measure designed to assess politicization as experienced by healthcare clinicians. Danya’s dissertation aims to generate a practical tool that can guide organizational strategies and health policy that prioritize clinician well-being and sustain access to evidence-based reproductive care in increasingly politicized environments.
