The Kolker Fellowship commemorates the legacy of pioneering health policy advocate Ann Kolker. At the time Ann was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1996, she was already a political powerhouse, having early involvement with organizations like the National Women’s Political Caucus and Emily’s List. We are now accepting applications for the Fall 2017 Fellowship.
