Applications Invited for Robert Wood Johnson Scholars in Health Policy Research Program
Deadline: October 25, 2006

A program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (<a href="http://rwjf.org">http://rwjf.org</a>), the Robert Wood Johnson Scholars in Health Policy Research Program helps develop a new generation of creative health policy thinkers and researchers within the disciplines of economics, political science, and sociology. Each year, the program selects up to twelve highly qualified individuals for two-year fellowships at one of three nationally prominent universities with the expectation that they will make important research contributions to future health policy in the United States.

Recent graduates of doctoral programs in economics, political science, and sociology, including junior faculty, are invited to apply. Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously worked extensively in health or health policy research.

Applicants must have received a doctoral degree after January 1, 2002, but no later than July 2007. For those expecting to receive degrees in 2007, all degree requirements must be completed by July 15, 2007. All applicants must be citizens of the U.S. and its territories or have permanent residency status at the time of application.

Up to 12 fellowships will be awarded in this grant cycle. Scholars will receive stipends from their university of $80,000 for year one and $83,000 for year two.
