About this opportunity
This cooperative agreement from the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Minority Health seeks applicants to implement a fellowship program focused on health equity issues and leadership development. The Health Equity Leadership Development Initiative aims to address gaps in federal fellowship opportunities for individuals interested in advancing health equity and social determinants of health through health policies, programs and practices at HHS. Applicants must develop and implement an experiential training program incorporating a curriculum on health care policy, leadership skills, cultural competence and federal leadership competencies. Applications are due by August 1, 2023 and will be evaluated based on the applicant's proposed approach, qualifications, and ability to achieve the program's goals.
Successful applicants will receive funding to host fellows, provide a stipend and identify housing options for participants. The places of performance will be at the recipients' organizations and facilities, with supplemental learning opportunities and mentorship experiences within HHS agencies to enhance fellows' professional development and career pathways in federal service. The program falls under the Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant with the goal of supporting evidence-based interventions and innovative models to improve health outcomes in racial and ethnic minority communities.
Synopsis
The HHS Office of Minority Health (OMH) anticipates funding for an initiative to implement a fellowship program at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to provide training in health equity issues and leadership to early career individuals to improve the health of racial and ethnic minority and other disadvantaged populations. The Health Equity Leadership Development Initiative aims to address the gap in federal fellowship opportunities for individuals interested in working at HHS to advance health equity and address the social determinants of health through health policies, programs, and practices. In addition, the Program is expected to support efforts to promote diversity, including racial and ethnic minorities, in senior positions within HHS agencies by providing professional development and career pathway opportunities. The Health Equity Leadership Development Initiative aims to enhance skills and competencies necessary for federal leadership service among participants through: (1) a curriculum focused on health care policy, leadership skill building and cultural competence, and aligned with core competencies for Federal leadership (e.g., leading change, leading people, results driven, business acumen, and building coalitions); and (2) fellowship-related experiences, supplemental learning opportunities, and mentorship. For the Health Equity Leadership Development Initiative, OMH will provide a curriculum and training modules for recipients to use. Recipients will be expected to develop and implement an experiential training in federal leadership core competency areas, health disparities and health equity, public health, and social determinants of health. In addition, recipients will provide mentoring and coaching to fellows to support leadership practice. Recipients' project management and oversight will include fellow recruitment, host site orientation, fellow selection, stipend distribution, and identification of housing options. Recipients will also participate in process and outcomes evaluation activities led by OMH and will document and disseminate project findings to all key stakeholders.
