Description
The fellowship offers early-career health science scholars from Wisconsin the opportunity to engage in evidence-based healthcare or public health studies through direct involvement with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Over two years, fellows remain at their home institutions while participating in the work of a designated National Academies board (such as Global Health, Health Care Services, or Population Health). Fellows contribute to study committees, participate in annual meetings, and are mentored by senior NAM members. The program emphasizes advancing health policy and improving health outcomes for Wisconsin communities, with a strong focus on health equity, rural health, and policy or systems change.
