Dear Colleagues,

We are excited to announce the launch of Human Impact Partners' (HIP) inaugural Health and Equity Fellowship program. From June 2013 – May of 2014, HIP will host one Fellow focused on building their leadership skills in the fields of Health Impact Assessment (HIA) and Health in All Policies (HiAP).

The goal of HIP’s Fellowship program is to increase the racial and ethnic diversity of young professionals committed to promoting the consideration of health and equity in decision-making through HIA and HiAP approaches. The full-time Fellow will be provided with ongoing training and mentorship, and will have the opportunity to propose and conduct a project that will contribute to advancing the consideration of health and equity in decision-making.  The HIP Fellow will also participate in the conduct of one of HIP’s HIA or Health in All Policies projects.
