Fellow who will work on hunger and obesity issues for young children. 
The Fellow will work closely with the ACF health team on strengthening 
its strategic vision to improve health and nutrition in children's 
programs. The Fellow will work with the team to examine programs in the 
Office of Child Care (OCC), OCC Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early

work with the ACF health team to synthesize ideas emergent from this 
investigative work to further develop strategies for integrating 
hunger- and obesity-prevention strategies into ACF's childhood 
programming.
