The Foundation’s Creating Equitable Pathways to STEM Graduate Education grants will support institutional pathways from MSIs to master’s and doctoral degree programs in astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, data science, Earth sciences, economics, engineering, marine science, mathematics, physics, and statistics. The intent is to facilitate the creation and strengthening of diverse, inclusive, and equitable pathways to and through STEM graduate education with the recognition that student pathways are too often disrupted by systemic racism, discrimination, and bias through prevailing institutional and departmental policy and practice.

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:

Candidates must:

1. Be a faculty member for five or more years in a United States accredited nursing school, allopathic medical school, or osteopathic medical school.
2. Be nominated by the dean of the school, and there can be no more than one nominee per nursing or medical school. A nursing or medical school with a first year Macy Faculty Scholar is precluded from nominating a candidate during this year.
3. Have a faculty mentor who will advise the candidate on the candidate's educational innovation project and on her/his career development.
4. Be a citizen or permanent resident of the United States or its territories.
