Description
Administered by the National Academy of Medicine (NAM), this fellowship helps early-career osteopathic health science scholars develop as future leaders through participation in the health- and medicine-related work of the National Academies. The two-year experience combines a flexible research grant with board assignments, study committee or roundtable contributions, and mentorship from an NAM member.
Fellows continue at their main academic posts while contributing to reports or other products, with studies identified to explore the value of integrating medicine and public health. Health policy orientation and meetings introduce fellows to experts across science, government, industry, and the health professions. Part of the NAM Fellowships for Health Science Scholars program, the fellowship is supported by an endowment from the American Osteopathic Association (AOA), American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), and American Osteopathic Foundation (AOF).
