Application Available for 2009 Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars
Program
The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation is accepting applications for the
2009 Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars Program. This intensive
summer program provides college students with an opportunity to work on
policy issues in a congressional office and to engage in original health
policy research and analysis under the guidance of Foundation research
staff.
College seniors and recent college graduates who have a strong interest
in addressing racial and ethnic health disparities, or who are
themselves a member of a population that is adversely affected by racial
and ethnic health disparities are eligible to apply. The application
deadline is 5 p.m. ET on Friday, December 12, 2008. Application
materials and more information are available online at
http://www.kff.org/minorityhealth/bjscholars/bjsapplication.cfm.

Selected Scholars will work in congressional offices in Washington, D.C.
for nine weeks, and will participate in weekly seminars and site visits
designed to increase their understanding of the intersection between
policy and the legislative process. Each Scholar is expected to write
and present a health policy research paper before an audience of policy
analysts and practitioners in one of the following research areas:
Medicaid, the uninsured, Medicare or HIV/AIDS.
Eligible candidates must be U.S. citizens who will be seniors or recent
graduates of an accredited U.S. college or university in the fall of
2009. Individuals with an advanced degree, and those individuals
currently enrolled in an advanced degree program are not eligible to
participate.
The Kaiser Family Foundation established the Barbara Jordan Health
Policy Scholars Program to honor the legacy of former U.S. Congresswoman
Barbara Jordan-the first African American elected to Congress from Texas
and a much-admired member of the Foundation's board of trustees. Barbara
Jordan had a distinguished career exemplified by her tireless advocacy
on behalf of vulnerable populations. She brought this passion to her
work, inspiring others to become involved in addressing challenging
health policy issues. The program is operated in partnership with
Howard University.
