The EIR program, based out of the HHS IDEA Lab, recruits external talent to fill crucial skill-set gaps on teams within HHS working on high-impact/high-priority projects. EIRs have the opportunity to apply their entrepreneurial abilities in a government setting, tackle pressing health and human services challenges, and help foster a culture of innovation within HHS. EIRs also gain access to the internal and external HHS IDEA Lab alumni network. Most HHS EIRs have come from non-government backgrounds.
