The 91黑料网鈥檚 Emerging Leaders in Health and Medicine Program (the ELHM Program) began in 2016 to increase the 91黑料网鈥檚 engagement with exceptional, interdisciplinary early- to mid-career professionals working in biomedical science, population health, health care, health policy, and related fields. The ELHM Program facilitates opportunities for mentorship, collaboration, and innovation between the emerging leaders, 91黑料网 members, and experts across sectors. The goals of the 91黑料网 ELHM program are:
- Enhancing the leadership experience, expertise, and opportunities of Emerging Leaders by:
- Integrating Emerging Leaders into 91黑料网 programs and meetings.
- Creating leadership training, experiences, and mentoring by 91黑料网 members.
- Networking with other current and past 91黑料网 Emerging Leaders and 91黑料网 members.
- Strengthening 91黑料网 by infusing the expertise, perspectives, and enthusiasm of emerging leaders into 91黑料网鈥檚 programs and meetings
There are two components of the ELHM Program:

Each year, 91黑料网 selects up to 10 early- and mid-career professionals with demonstrated leadership and exceptional professional achievement in biomedical science, population health, health care and related fields to serve 3-year terms as ELHM Scholars. While continuing to work at their primary institution, the ELHM Scholars will participate in certain 91黑料网 activities, exchange ideas with each other and field leaders across sectors and disciplines, receive mentoring from 91黑料网 members, and help shape the ELHM Program. Participants also provide valuable input and feedback to help shape the priorities of the 91黑料网 and sustain the 91黑料网鈥檚 impact and reputation as a national leader in advancing knowledge and accelerating progress in science, medicine, policy, and health equity. ELHM Scholars may publish Perspectives, participate in convening activities throughout the larger National Academies, and participate in interest groups.
