Applications Being Accepted for The Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellowships Program

The Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellowships Program is seeking applicants for the 2003-2006 program. Fellowships are available to outstanding, mid-career health professionals and behavioral and social scientists with an interest in health who wish to actively participate in the formulation of federal health policy and accelerate their careers in health policy. Beginning in September 2003, up to eight Fellows will participate in an extensive orientation and a full-time work experience in the congressional or executive branch of the federal government. After the one-year Washington, DC work experience, Fellows will receive partial funding support to continue their health policy work for two years. Initiated in 1973, the program is funded by The Robert Wood Johnson FoundationÒ and conducted by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences. Applications must be received by the Institute of Medicine by November 15, 2002.
