Health Policy Research Scholars
Health Policy Research Scholars is a national leadership development program for second-year doctoral students in any academic discipline who want to apply their research to help build healthier and more equitable communities. We train students from underrepresented populations and disadvantaged backgrounds to be leaders across sectors and disciplines. The students—who come from fields as diverse as neuroscience, urban planning, anthropology, and economics—engage in policy-relevant research that supports community-led action to build a Culture of Health.
