Applications are NOW OPEN!

Growing the Next Generation of Indian Health Advocates

The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) Health Policy Fellowship is a year-long program for Native youth 18-24 years old who are interested in making a difference in the health of their communities.

Health Policy Fellows:

• Work with Tribal leadership to identify one priority health issue
• Learn how to analyze policy in their issue area
• Create informed recommendations, and
• Advocate for change

Opportunities to Grow

Health Policy Fellows meet in-person 3 times and receive virtual trainings to strengthen their leadership skills and ability to effectively advocate for their communities.

NIHB covers Fellows’ travel for all in-person meetings. We also provide free opportunities for professional development to current and past Fellows.
