Funding-Atlantic Philanthropies
- Health and Aging Policy Fellows; April 15, 2016
Description
Atlantic
Philanthropies is inviting applications for its 2016-17 class of Health and
Aging Policy Fellowships, a year-long program designed to provide healthcare
professionals with the experience and skills necessary to make a positive
contribution to the development and implementation of health policies that
affect older Americans.
The
program provides fellows with the opportunity to participate in either a
residential or non-residential track. The residential track allows fellows to
participate in the policymaking process, on either the federal or state level,
as a legislative assistant in Congress, a professional staff member in an
Executive branch agency, or in a policy organization. The non-residential track
allows fellows to remain at their home institution, where they work on a policy
project that involves brief placement(s) throughout the year at relevant sites.
Core program components focused on career development and professional enrichment
are provided to fellows in both tracks.
This
year, the program has launched two new non-residential fellowship tracks. The
global track will allow one to three fellows to participate on global policy
issues related to health and aging. The community track also will allow one to
three fellows to participate on state and local policy issues related to health
and aging. The ultimate goal of both tracks is for fellows to contribute to the
building of global or local capacity in health and aging policy, respectively,
and also to contribute to the forging of long-term partnerships between the
Health and Aging Policy Fellows Program and global or community foundations and
other organizations.
