A research opportunity is currently available with the Office of Planning, Analysis, and Evaluation (OPAE), within the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) located in Rockville, Maryland.
The purpose of the OPAE fellowship is to conduct mentored health services research focused on the federal public health programs administered by the HRSA. HRSA, an agency within the HHS, is the primary federal agency for addressing health disparities and improving access to high quality health care services for people who are uninsured, isolated, or medically vulnerable. Among other roles for the agency, OPAE serves as HRSA’s primary source for policy analysis, performance data management, research/evaluation, leadership in strategic public health initiatives, and engagements with key external stakeholders of the agency.
This fellowship program is designed to provide an environment where a highly qualified, motivated, and productive candidate will be able to apply and further develop their health services research skills, knowledge, and experience. This will be accomplished through direct opportunities to perform research/analytic studies with a mentor/team, and by immersion in federal government initiatives aimed at improving health care service delivery to the nation’s safety net. This opportunity will allow the right candidate to learn more about federal careers, the public health programs of the federal government, and how health services research can be strategically applied in meaningful ways to ongoing work of the federal government.
The participant will conduct research/analyses in topic areas such as population health, health equity, social determinants of health, chronic disease epidemiology, mental/behavioral health, HIV/AIDS, rural health, and community health – particularly as the work relates to serving vulnerable and underserved populations. The specific analyses/projects performed will be determined collaboratively with the participant and consider their specific topical interests, but will align with the guidance of OPAE leadership and ongoing agency efforts/needs. Research/analytic activities will be performed both independently and in conjunction with other OPAE researchers. The quantitative analyses performed will involve the use of federal sources of national-level data (e.g., from CDC/NCHS, NIH, AHRQ, SAMHSA, U.S. Census) and HRSA program databases. The participant will link individual/patient-level and community level health-related data with socioeconomic, demographic, environmental, neighborhood, and geographic variables for the purposes of conducting and publishing high-quality population health and epidemiological research. OPAE research aims to add value to HRSA’s portfolio of grant programs and advance priority work related to the HRSA mission.
