The Robert Wood Johnson Health Society Scholars Program at the University of Wisconsin offers a two-year postdoctoral research experience designed to meet the following goals: to provide scholars with an understanding of population health that is broad and integrative; to insure that scholars understand how to translate new population health knowledge into policy and practice; to provide scholars with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to become leaders in the emerging field of population health; and to contribute to the understanding of population health concepts at the university, state, and national levels.
