<p class=stitle>Dear Colleague,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am pleased to announce the 3rd year of the Health and Aging Policy
Fellows Program, a unique professional fellowship opportunity. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Supported by The Atlantic Philanthropies and directed by Harold Alan
Pincus, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Health Policy and Management at
Columbia University (in collaboration with the American Political Science
Association Congressional Fellowship Program), this national program seeks to
provide professionals in health and aging 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
offers two different tracks: (1) a residential track that includes a
nine-to-12-month placement in Washington, D.C. or at a state agency (as a legislative
assistant in Congress, a professional staff member in an executive agency or
in a policy organization); and (2) a non-residential track that includes a
health policy project and brief placement(s) throughout the year at relevant
sites. Core program components focused on career development and professional
enrichment are provided for fellows in both tracks. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The program is open to physicians, nurses and social workers at all career
stages (early, mid, and late) with a demonstrated commitment to health and
aging issues and a desire to be involved in health policy at the federal,
state or local level. Other professionals with clinical backgrounds (e.g.,
pharmacists, dentists, clinical psychologists) working in the field of health
and aging are also eligible to apply. Under special circumstances, exceptions
may be made for non-clinicians who are in positions that can impact health
policy for older Americans at a clinical level. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We are delighted to announce our partnership with the John Heinz Senate
Fellowship in Issues of the Aging. Our programs have combined to create the
joint John Heinz/Health and Aging Policy Fellowship. Each year, one
individual will be designated the John Heinz/Health and Aging Policy Fellow. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Our goal is to create a cadre of professional leaders who will serve as
positive change agents in health and aging policy, helping to shape a healthy
and productive future for older Americans. To this end, we seek your
assistance in informing potential candidates of this opportunity. Please feel
free to forward this notification to prospective applicants or others in the
field who may know of such individuals, or to suggest other methods and/or
venues for marketing the program. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><strong><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>The application
deadline for the 2009-2010 fellowship year is April 15, 2010.</span></strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>For further information, please visit our website at <a
