The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation is accepting applications for the 2010 Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars Program. This intensive summer program provides college students with an opportunity to work on health 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 4, 2009. Application materials and more information are available online.
Selected Scholars will work in congressional offices in Washington, D.C. for 10 weeks and will participate in weekly seminars and site visits designed to increase their understanding of the intersection between health policy and the legislative process.

The Kaiser Family Foundation established the Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars Program to honor the legacy of the late U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Jordan - the first African American elected to Congress from Texas and a former well-respected 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 other to become involved in addressing challenging health policy issues. The program is operated in partnership with Howard University.
