This fellowship supports early-career scholars in osteopathic medicine by providing a two-year immersive experience within the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Fellows remain at their primary academic positions but dedicate 10–20% of their time to the program, which includes assignment to a National Academies board, active participation in meetings, and contributions to committee work and reports. The program is designed to foster leadership, collaboration, and innovation in osteopathic medicine, and includes mentorship from a senior National Academy of Medicine (NAM) member as well as engagement with national experts in medicine, public health, policy, and science. Each fellow receives a $25,000 flexible research grant to further their professional and academic career.
