Description
The American Academy of Nursing (AAN) Fellowship gives health science scholars in nursing the opportunity to participate in evidence-based health care and public health studies that improve patient care and access in domestic and global health systems. Administered by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), it is part of the NAM Fellowships for Health Science Scholars program and is supported through an AAN endowment.
Fellows remain in their primary academic and research posts while participating in a National Academies board and an appropriate study committee or roundtable. They contribute to reports or other products, with studies selected to offer opportunities to integrate medicine and public health. The experience connects fellows with government, industry, scientific, and health organization leaders. Each fellow receives guidance from a senior NAM member mentor and a flexible research grant to advance their professional and academic career.
