When we talk about about HCS leaders, we are talking about people in leadership and decision making positions (medical directors etc.) and the C-suite (CEO, COO, CMO, etc.), though it may depend on what your particular project is / who might be involved.
The HCS Scholars award is funded through a subaward from Brown University.
