To strengthen the impact of the Fund’s international program and spark creative health policy thinking in the United States, an external contractor will work with Fund staff to produce a series of issue briefs highlighting innovations in health policy and practice from abroad that might be transferable to the U.S. Given the high priority placed on health reform by the new Congress and Administration, these publications will provide a much-needed vehicle for bringing fresh ideas tried in other countries to the attention of U.S. policymakers, journalists, and researchers. The contractor will serve as the series’ editor, helping to identify salient topics and working with international authors to present information in an accessible format.
