Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Announces Call for Applications for 2012-13 Health Policy Fellows
Deadline: November 9, 2011
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Policy Fellows program is designed to provide a comprehensive fellowship experience at the nexus of health science, policy, and politics in Washington, D.C.
The year-long program provides an opportunity for exceptional midcareer health professionals and behavioral and social scientists with an interest in health and healthcare policy. Fellows participate in the policy process at the federal level and use that leadership experience to improve health, healthcare, and health policy.
Up to six grants of up to $165,000 each will be made in 2012. Each fellow will receive up to $94,000 for the Washington stay (September 1, 2012, through August 31, 2013) in salary, plus fringe benefits or fellowship stipend. Continued pre–approved leadership development activities may be conducted with any remaining funds within twelve months following the Washington year. Fellows will receive an additional allowance for relocation.
Exceptional candidates from academic faculties and nonprofit healthcare organizations are encouraged to apply.
Applicants may have backgrounds in the allied health professions, biomedical sciences, dentistry, economics or other social sciences, health services organization and administration, medicine, nursing, public health, social and behavioral health, or health law. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, resident non-citizen nationals, or resident foreign nationals.
The deadline for online applications is November 9, 2011. (Please note that reference letters must be submitted online by November 2, 2011.)
Complete program information, selection criteria, and application instructions are available at the RWJF Web site.
