N1 - Funding Information: SH: The Jonas Policy Scholars Program is supported by the AAN, with funding by the Jonas Center for Nursing and Veterans Healthcare. The Program aims to recruit doctoral and post-doctoral nursing students for a 2-year fellowship experience with the Academy. The fellowship is beneficial to all—as Jonas Scholars, we gain valuable experience working with the Academy’s expert panels to inform and shape policy while being mentored by senior nurse researchers and practitioners. The Academy gains SO: The AAN currently has more than 20 Expert Panels, which are organized around population-or health-related foci. The expert panels are one of the major forces within the Academy. The Jonas Health Policy Scholars Program was spearheaded by Deborah Gross, DNSc, RN, FAAN, because she saw this program as a way to mentor junior scholars and a way to provide extra support to the Expert Panels. As a Jonas Policy Fellow, I am enjoying working with the Psychiatric/Mental Health/Substance Abuse Expert Panel. A recent highlight for me was when I had the opportunity to attend a meeting with Elinore McCance-Katz (first Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use) with the co-chairs from my Expert Panel. This hands-on experience taught me how to approach someone in a governmental agency for a “specific ask.” Also, I am participating in background research and currently assisting in draft- ing a journal article with nurses on my Expert Panel. I’m learning how to “give voice” to patient issues, and I’m benefiting from practical coaching in how to speak up in a manner that demands attention to advance my priorities.
