National Program Overview
Through interaction and collaboration with faculty from the social sciences, medicine, public health, and public policy, the expectation is that Scholars will seek to make important research contributions to future health policy in the United States. Each year, the national program enables up to twelve highly qualified individuals to undertake two-year fellowships at one of three program sites:
- Harvard University
- University of California, Berkeley/
University of California, San Francisco - University of Michigan
Each site accepts approximately four Scholars each year, distributed across the three target disciplines. Participating Scholars undertake cutting-edge research relevant to health policy using the tools and perspectives of their discipline.
The Scholars in Health Policy Research Program is administered by a National Program Office, housed at Boston University and directed by Dr. Alan Cohen.
