RWJF Accepting Applications for Clinical Scholars Program

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation is accepting applications for its Clinical Scholars program, a three-year leadership program for clinically active healthcare providers and practitioners.

The program aims to provide participants with the opportunity to build and develop the unique skills they need to lead communities and organizations toward a Culture of Health. Strong applicants include a team that will bring a knowledge of and experience in the art and science of health care services, a unique perspective as providers in health and health care systems, and an understanding of and appreciation for the special professional status and relationship they have with patients and communities.

The total award to the grantee organization will be up to $105,000 per team member for the three-year program. Teams may comprise between two and five individuals. For example, the award for a three-member team would be up to a total of $315,000. The amount includes grant funds to support the ongoing participation of all team members for all three years, including salary support, project funding, and project travel. (Note: The size of the team may not increase during the grant term.)

The foundation will host a webinar for potential applicants on January 19, 2017, from 12:00 p.m to 1:00 p.m. (EST). Registration is required.

To be eligible, applicants must be an organization based in the United States or one of its territories. In addition, applicant organizations must assemble an inter-professional team of two to five members representing different health professions. Teams may consist of members from within the same or across different organizations. Teams also may have a history of working together or be newly formed.

See the RWJF website for complete program guidelines, information about mandatory leadership retreats, an FAQ, and application instructions.
