<p>The program will enroll up to fifty scholars from a disadvantaged background or underrepresented population who are interested in learning how to translate their research into health policy. Health Policy Research Scholars is a national leadership development program for second-year doctoral students in any academic discipline who want to apply their research to help build healthier and more equitable communities.
<p>A new center, the Institute of Education Sciences (IES or Institute) will establish the “Expanding the Evidence Base for Career and Technical Education Network” (CTE Network), which will comprise a Network Lead plus several research teams that are recipients of Institute grants to evaluate CTE policies and programs at the secondary and postsecondary levels.
