2024-2025 Emerging Scholars Program Application

The Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics (LDI) is pleased to announce a call for applications for the 2024-2025 Emerging Scholars Exchange Program to provide career development opportunities via invited presentations at prestigious peer universities. Through the Exchange Program, LDI early career faculty will have the opportunity to develop relationships with potential research collaborators, mentors, and sponsors, hone their oral presentation skills, and bolster their CVs as they prepare for promotion.

Candidates should have at least five first-authored or last-authored research papers since joining the Penn faculty.
