Twenty thought leaders in public health, health services research, and health policy receive training and support through this one-year fellowship in order to magnify their voices and knowledge in today’s most important health justice discussions.
In order to move the HSR and health policy industry towards higher impact, equitable research, participants will apply these abilities to influence their domains and create critical debates. A national effort called the Public Voices Fellowship aims to transform who writes history and develop a more equitable society. Therefore, traditionally marginalised and underrepresented voices, such as those of women and people of colour, will make up the bulk of the cohort.
Aims
- AcademyHealth and The OpEd Project hope to emphasise the need for more creative approaches to address systemic and structural constraints in health and health services research by introducing fresh, varied perspectives into the public discourse through the Public Voices Fellowship.
- Fellows are urged to envision and promote more inclusive and representative methods for developing research questions, designing incentive structures, enlisting collaborators, educating researchers, using data, and distributing results as voices for science innovation.
- The curriculum for the fellowship examines power, equity, innovation, and action in a society that is unfair. The workings of credibility, how ideas propagate, when and why brains alter, and how ideas behave over time and space will all be topics of study for fellows.
Programme Specifics
- 20 fellows or so make up each cohort.
- 9 months of focused coaching plus 3 months of additional support make up the one-year fellowship.
- Four discovery-based gatherings planned to stimulate learning and results.
- Professional editing and coaching from recognised journalists.
- Weekly journalist office hours and regular expert discussions with media executives are accessible.
- Four virtual workshops are included in the programme, as well as one-on-one coaching from top editors and journalists. During their fellowship, all participants agree to pen at least two pieces of opinion writing (and ideally many more).
- The following dates must be reserved by applicants for the three (3) virtual and one (1) in-person convenings:
- Session 1: a three-day online start meeting scheduled for November 29–December 1, 2023, on Wednesday–Friday.
- Second session: a two-day online workshop
- the 15th and 16th of February 2024
- Third session: a two-day online workshop
- On the 25th and 26th of April 2024.
- Session 4: A one-day in-person meeting in Baltimore, Maryland
- On June 28, 2024, travel assistance will be available.
What are they seeking, exactly?
- In the community-based organisations, civil society, nonprofits, academia, and the corporate sector, they are looking for fresh perspectives from activists, businesspeople, community and business leaders, scientists, teachers, and writers, among others.
- They are looking for leaders with experience in public health, communication, and social justice who have shown a desire and capacity to contribute to the public conversation about improving the relevance and applicability of health services research for all. Big data, funding methods, publication procedures, racial justice, local, national, or international politics are just a few examples of possible areas of concentration.
- A competitive selection process will be used to choose the fellows. They are devoted to creating a cohort that is diverse. They will take into account a number of things, such as gender, race/ethnicity, age, region, area of expertise, job history, and experience, although they are not restricted to these.
- Fellows are free to concentrate on whatever specific thought leadership results they desire as well, using any media format they choose, including written, broadcast, internet, public speaking, or something else entirely. Simply expressed, the goal of setting concrete goals is to make sure that people are acting on their ideas rather than just talking about them.
