"The Health Equity Fellowship for Trainees is a part of Health Affairs' national initiative to advance opportunities for all in health policy and health services scholarly publishing. The purpose of the Fellowship is to increase the quantity and quality of manuscripts published on the topic of health equity, while cultivating future health equity research leaders. Based on funding requirements, HEFT currently focuses on manuscripts dedicated to the topic of health equity along the dimensions of race and ethnicity. We hope to expand to other dimensions of equity in the future.

• Be a graduate-level (doctoral) student, postdoctoral researcher, or early career researcher who is no more than seven years outside of having earned your graduate degree.
