**The Health Equity Fellowship for Trainees** is part of Health
Affairs' national initiative to advance racial equity in health policy
and health services scholarly publishing. Its objective is to
**value** and
**increase the quality**and
**quantity** of equity-related research published in Health Affairs that
is authored by members of racial and ethnic groups that have
historically been underrepresented in scholarly publishing.
In the program, fellows will receive multilayered mentorship from
experienced
**Health Affairs** authors and editorial staff for one year (from
January 2022 to December 2022). Mentors will work with fellows to make
fellows' manuscript submissions more likely to be accepted by the
journal or another journal within the fellowship year. Manuscript
submissions must be related to racial equity.
The application period closes on September 13, 2021.
