Robert Wood Johnson Scholars in Health Policy Research

The RWJ Scholars in Health Policy Research Program is a two-year, post-doctoral fellowship program for eight or nine recent Ph.D.s in political science, sociology, and economics.  The Program's objectives are to expand the number of young academics in these three disciplines who are conducting research on health policy issues, and to foster greater interdisciplinary approaches that might help solve U.S. health policy problems.  The RWJ Scholars in Health Policy Research Program is housed within IQSS, which offers the Scholars mentorship from junior and senior faculty members whose research focuses on social policies overlapping with health issues. This program is funded by a generous grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
