The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation is accepting applications for the 2011 
Barbara Jordan Health Policy Scholars 
Program<http://smtp01.kff.org/t/14603/412915/13948/0/>. This intensive summer 
program provides college students with an opportunity to work on 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. Eligible candidates must be U.S. citizens 
who will be seniors or recent graduates of an accredited U.S. college or 
university by the fall of 2011. Individuals with a graduate degree and those 
individuals currently enrolled in a graduate degree program are not eligible to 
participate. The application deadline is 5 p.m. ET on Friday, December 3, 2010. 
Application materials and more information are available 
online<http://smtp01.kff.org/t/14603/412915/13948/0/>.
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 policy and the 
legislative process. Scholars are expected to write and present a health policy 
research paper in one of the following research areas: health reform and the 
uninsured, Medicaid, Medicare or HIV/AIDS. Housing is provided through Howard 
University, the Foundation’s partner in operating the program.
The Kaiser Family Foundation established the Barbara Jordan Health Policy 
Scholars Program to honor the legacy of Barbara Jordan – the first African 
American elected to Congress from Texas and a well-respected former 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.

Foundation at (202) 347-5270 or contact Jomo Kassaye, program manager at Howard 
University at (202) 238-2385.
