HHS Office and Location: A fellowship opportunity is currently available in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) located in Washington, DC.
The mission of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is to enhance the health and well-being of all Americans, by providing for effective health and human services and by fostering sound, sustained advances in the sciences underlying medicine, public health, and social services.
Research Project: Calling all Innovators: The InnovationX team at HHS is looking for an ORISE participant to contribute to our portfolio in Kidney Innovation. The ideal candidate will be involved in leading the highly successful KidneyX Public-Private Partnership between the US Department of Health and Human Services and the American Society for Nephrology, with a passion for disrupting change related to kidney health, prevention, and treatment.
Kidney failure is unique in American healthcare as the only major health condition that qualifies for Medicare absent age. The human cost of kidney disease is tremendous, affecting 37 million Americans, disproportionately people of color. The fiscal cost is also enormous, with $36 billion taxpayer dollars each year spent on dialysis – a form of treatment that has not progressed significantly in decades. The Fellow will be involved in representing the Federal Government’s interests in a key public private partnership that has the potential to transform what is possible for these patients.

Participant Stipend: The participant will receive a monthly stipend commensurate with educational level and experience. A health insurance allowance will be provided. A training allowance will also be provided with sufficient justification. No relocation allowance will be provided.
Citizenship Requirements: This opportunity is available to U.S. citizens only.
