The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has issued an RFP to select its 2022 Health Policy Scholars Program cohort. Health Policy Research Scholars (HPRS) is a four-year national leadership development program for full-time doctoral students from nonclinical, research-focused disciplines in which policy is a key driver of change (e.g., urban planning; political science; economics; anthropology; education; social work; sociology; engineering; geography; and lab/bench sciences).
Applicants must be from populations underrepresented in specific doctoral disciplines and/or historically marginalized backgrounds. Awardees receive $30,000 per year for up to four years.
Applications are due online by March 16, 2022 by 3 p.m. EST.
This is a very significant opportunity for PhD students to develop significant influence in key policy areas. (NOTE: There is an optional webinar on Feb. 2, 2022, from 1-2 p.m.)
