Purpose
The purpose of the Addiction Medicine Fellowship (AMF) program is to expand the
number of fellows at accredited AMF and Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship (APF)
programs trained as addiction medicine specialists who practice in medically
underserved, community-based settings that integrate primary care with mental health
disorder and substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment services. The
fellowship must include training in prevention and treatment services in medically
underserved, community-based settings, including in rural areas, that do not have
access or have limited access to SUD treatment. The program includes training for both
addiction medicine and/or addiction psychiatry fellows. Its goal is to increase the
number of physicians who are board-certified specialists in addiction medicine or
addiction psychiatry who will serve in medically underserved community-based
settings, including in rural areas, once trained. The program supports training to:
 

• Increase the number of fellows trained to practice addiction medicine and
  addiction psychiatry in rural and other medically underserved community-based
  settings.
• Establish partnerships with clinical rotation sites in rural or other underserved
  areas, that focus on the integration of primary care with mental health and SUD
  prevention and treatment services.
• Increase fellows’ knowledge and ability to assist their patients with referrals to
  navigate the legal and social systems related to patients’ clinical or care needs.
• Increase awareness of the specialty and reduce provider stigma to increase the
  number of physicians interested in pursuing careers in addiction medicine and
  addiction psychiatry through the provision of clinical rotations that expose
  medical residents to practice in these specialties and through education and
  consultation.

The fellows program was established in 2015 to provide philanthropic support to extraordinary scholars and writers for high-caliber research in the humanities and social sciences.  Fellowships of $200,000 are awarded annually to exceptional scholars, authors, journalists, and public intellectuals. The criteria prioritize the originality and promise of the research, its potential impact on the field, and the scholar’s plans for communicating the findings to a broad audience. The funding is for a period of one or two years with the anticipated result of a book or major study. Regardless of title, a junior scholar is defined as someone who received their PhD within the last 10 years (2013–2023, for the 2024 fellowship program).

Through the study of political polarization in the United States, the Corporation seeks to raise awareness in the philanthropic sector, guide public policy, and help inform the foundation’s grantmaking in democracy, education, and international peace and security. 

Focus Areas:

• The Corporation anticipates that the work of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program will explore the many ways political polarization in the United States manifests itself in society and suggest ways that it may be mitigated. Studies of polarization in other countries will be considered providing they offer lessons that can be applied to the United States.

Evaluation criteria: 

• Originality and promise of the idea 
• Quality of the proposal 
• Potential impact on the field 
• Record of the nominee 
• Plans to communicate findings to a broad audience

Resubmissions:

•  You may be nominated for the Fellows Program multiple times. However, we strongly recommend that applicants make substantive changes to their applications, as proposals identical to those not previously selected are less likely to be successful.
