Macy Faculty Scholars Program

The Macy Faculty Scholars Program 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.

Program highlights:

• Salary Support: Up to $100,000 salary support per year for two years for 50% protected time to pursue a mentored educational project at the home institution.
• Professional Development and Project Expenses: Scholars receive $25,000 per year for two years to subsidize the cost of professional development activities and related project expenses.
• Formal Mentoring: Each Scholar is assigned one mentor from the National Advisory Committee and one peer mentor from the family of alumni Scholars.
• Annual Meeting: All Scholars—both active and alumni—gather each year for the Macy Faculty Scholars Annual Meeting.
• Educational Opportunities: The Macy Foundation pays tuition costs for one Harvard Macy Institute course.
• Access to Macy Grantees and Programs: Members of the Scholar community become integral members of the broader Macy Foundation family.

Eligibility Requirements

Eligible candidates must have a doctoral degree (e.g., MD, PhD, DNP, EdD). The foundation does not have strict guidelines about eligibility related to rank or years of service. However, because they are looking for early-career candidates who are in a position to affect real change in their institutions, they expect likely candidates to be at the assistant professor rank with roughly three to eight years of experience as a faculty member.

Please see program web page for upcoming webinar information.
