Summary
This funding opportunity is designed to support experienced mid‑career professionals in health‑related fields by offering a substantial award—up to $175,000 per recipient—over a period of 12 to 24 months. It is available nationwide across the United States, with placements centered in Washington, D.C., where selected participants will spend their fellowship fully immersed in federal policymaking environments.
The intent of the funds is to enable fellows to take part in shaping health policy at the highest level. This includes developing legislation, briefing policymakers, attending hearings, and engaging directly with constituents or agency staff. The program also supports continued professional development through training opportunities, networking, and mentorship, with additional resources for leadership growth.
Eligible participants include individuals holding advanced degrees in fields such as medicine, public health, nursing, social and behavioral sciences, health services or administration, law, economics, or other disciplines that influence population health. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and must not have primary roles in government relations or advocacy. Both individuals affiliated with nonprofit, academic, or governmental institutions and unaffiliated applicants may apply, though those with institutional sponsors may receive funds through their organizations while others receive direct stipends through program administration.
This opportunity is particularly relevant for nonprofit organizations, academic centers, public agencies, and qualifying individuals who wish to contribute meaningfully to national health equity and systemic change. The award covers a base stipend and allows flexibility in use across salary support, leadership activities, research assistance, travel for policymaking purposes, and other direct program costs, though indirect costs and equipment purchases are not permitted. Relocation and housing support—up to specified limits—is provided separately.
Up to eight fellows are selected per cycle, making it a competitive and prestigious leadership development opportunity. The program emphasizes national scope, policy impact, and fostering a cohort of leaders committed to advancing health equity and evidence‑based policy.
