The Macy Faculty Scholars Program, now in its second decade, aims to identify and nurture promising early career educators in medicine and nursing. The program will help develop the next generation of national leaders in medical and nursing education by identifying outstanding educators, physicians, nurses, and role models—individuals who represent the breadth of diversity seen in learners, patient populations, and health care settings around the country. By providing the Scholars with resources—especially protected time, mentorship, and a professional network of colleagues—the program aims to accelerate Scholars’ careers, to turn their teaching practice into scholarship, and to help them become impactful leaders locally, nationally, and beyond.

Eligibility: 

1. Be a faculty member in a United States accredited nursing
   school, allopathic medical
   school, or osteopathic medical school. Candidates should have approximately three to eight years of full-time faculty experience at the time of application.

2. Be nominated by the dean of the nursing or medical school. There can be only one nominee per nursing or medical school.

3. Have a faculty mentor who will advise the candidate on the candidate’s educational project and career development.

4. Be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States or its territories.

This is a career development award. The Foundation is interested in candidates for whom the program will have the maximum impact at this point in their career and who also have the greatest possibility for future impact at their home institutions and beyond. Macy Faculty Scholars will participate in the Macy Faculty Scholars Annual Meeting and will be part of the family of Macy Faculty Scholars for the remainder of their careers.

In order to develop the careers of educators who are future leaders, the Macy Faculty Scholars Program will provide salary support for each Scholar up to $100,000 per year, which will protect 50% of the Scholar’s time over two years. The Scholar will devote this time to a mentored educational scholarly project and other appropriate career development activities.
