The Public Voices Fellowship at AcademyHealth, in partnership with The OpEd Project, is once again offering an opportunity to harness your power as a thought leader and advance equity and impact in health services research. This yearlong fellowship will convene a cohort of 20 thought leaders in public health, health services research, and health policy, for an extraordinary opportunity to share their expertise and elevate their voices.

The Public Voices Fellowship is part of a national initiative in partnership with the OpEd Project to change who writes history; accordingly, the majority of the cohort will be historically excluded and underrepresented voices, including women and people of color.

Application Deadline: Monday, Oct. 9, at 5 p.m.
