Researchers: Senior Scholar program seeks applicants
Are you looking for opportunities to participate in federal primary care research activities, observe health policy development at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and learn about federal support for family medicine/primary care research? If so, consider applying for the AAFP Senior Scholar in Residence at the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research.
The Academy and AHCPR are seeking applicants for the six-month full-time (or equivalent period on a part-time basis) position based at the AHCPR's Center for Primary Care Research in Rockville, Md.
The agency will pay half the scholar's salary during the assignment, but the scholar's home institution must maintain and pay for other benefits.
Candidates should possess an M.D. or D.O. degree, be board certified in family practice or have completed a family practice residency program and be a U.S. citizen. Research should be a part of the candidate's current career with the expectation that this research role will be enhanced upon return to the home institution. Training or experience in research (especially skills in the use of large data sets) is highly desirable. Experience in medical education and health policy is also desirable.
Applications received by May 3 will be given priority review by the AAFP Commission on Clinical Policies and Research in conjunction with AHCPR. Applications received after that date may be considered.
For more information or to obtain application information, contact Herbert Young, M.D., AAFP Scientific Activities Division director, or Carol Tierney, division coordinator, by e-mail at hyoung@aafp.org or by phone at (800) 274-2237, Ext. 5500.
