2021 Health Equity Scholars Program

In 2021, the Scholars Strategy Network, supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, debuted the Health Equity Scholar Program. With the rising need of evidence based policy to inform and help create holistically healthy communities, there is a strong demand for health equity scholars’ expertise and community specific perspectives. To meet this moment, the Health Equity Scholars Program has recruited a cohort of early-career scholars based on recommendations from established senior researchers in the health equity field. These cohort members, who hail from across the country, are conducting important research that seeks to improve the wellbeing of their communities and have a strong desire to translate their findings for public policy audiences.
