Description
The American Academy of Periodontology Foundation administers the Nevins and Nevins-BioHorizons Teaching and Clinical Research Fellowships to support early-career periodontal faculty. Two fellowships are awarded annually, with funding directed toward supplementing faculty income.
The fellowships sit within the Foundation’s broader investment in periodontal education and research. The Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the American Academy of Periodontology and works to advance the specialty through support for education, researchers, and the periodontal workforce. These fellowships provide personal income support rather than funding for a separately described research project.
