>>Subject: Invitational Breakfast at AEA Meeting
>>
>>Dear Friends and Colleagues:
>>
>>Once again, we are preparing for another invitational breakfast meeting
>>for highly qualified potential applicants to the Scholars in Health
>>Policy Research Program, at this year's annual meeting of the AEA in
>>Washington. Prospective applicants will be invited to gather with
>>Program participants (Scholars, faculty, alumni, NAC members, and NPO
>>staff) for a continental breakfast, to discuss the Program and the rich
>>opportunities that it affords economists interested in entering into
>>health policy research. The breakfast will be targeted to two groups:
>>(1) finalists selected by the National Advisory Committee for the Cohort
>>X competition, and (2) highly qualified individuals who may be
>>interested in applying for the Cohort XI competition next year.
>>
>>This year's breakfast will take place at:
>>
>> The Grand Hyatt Washington
>> 1000 H Street, NW
>> Burnham Room (listed as: Boston Univ. School of Management
>>Breakfast)
>> Saturday, January 4, 2003
>> 7:00 to 8:30 am.
>>
>>The session again will be informal, with the principal emphasis on
>>conversations with key Program participants and satisfied "customers."
>>This will be an opportunity for you to meet the Cohort X finalists
>>before they interview at Program sites during the month of January, as
>>well as potential applicants for Cohort XI.
>>
>>However, to make this work, we need your help.
>>
>>AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, please send me the names and e-mail addresses of
>>individuals whom you would encourage to apply to the Program. I will
>>invite them to join us for breakfast, copying you in the process.
>>Please bear in mind that we are seeking individuals for the eleventh
>>cohort of Scholars, who would apply to the Program NEXT Fall (2003) and
>>would enter in Fall 2004. Thus, we seek highly qualified candidates who
>>are either: (1) junior faculty who received their doctoral degrees after
>>January
>>1999; or (2) current doctoral students who expect to complete their
>>degrees by July 2004.
>>
>>PLEASE PLAN TO ATTEND. You need not arrive at 7:00 am. Feel free to
>>stop by anytime during the one and one-half hour period. If you have any
>>questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via e-mail or at
>>617-353-9222.
>>
>>I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you in Washington. Happy
>>Holidays and have a Happy New Year!
>>
>>Best wishes,
>>
>>Alan B. Cohen
