Macy Foundation Seeks Applications for M

Founded in 1930 by Kate Macy Ladd in memory of her father, prominent philanthropist Josiah Macy, Jr., the Josiah Macy, Jr. Foundation supports projects that broaden and improve health professional education.

To that end, the foundation has issued a Call for Applications for the fifth class of Macy Faculty Scholars, an annual program designed to identify and nurture the careers of promising educational innovators in medicine and nursing.

With support from the Macy Foundation, scholars will implement new educational innovations at their home institutions and participate in career development activities. To help them, scholars will receive salary support of up to $100,000 per year for two years; at least 50 percent protected time for two years to pursue their project; active mentorship by a senior faculty member at their institution; access to the program’s national advisory committee; and opportunities to participate in Macy conferences and other national meetings.

To be eligible, applicants must have been a faculty member for more than five years in an accredited nursing school, allopathic medical school, or osteopathic medical school in the U.S.; be nominated by the dean of the school; and have a faculty mentor who will advise the candidate on the educational innovation project and on his/her career development. In addition, all applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of the U.S. or one of its territories.

See the Macy Foundation website for complete program guidelines and application instructions.

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 11, 2015
