Description
The William and Sandra Bennett Clinical Scholars Program, administered by the American Society of Nephrology (ASN), aims to develop the next generation of clinician educators in nephrology. The program supports faculty to conduct projects that advance all aspects of nephrology education and teaching, with an emphasis on generating new knowledge and addressing educational gaps that have an impact beyond the applicant's own institution. Projects may include curricular reform, educational innovations, evaluation of competency-based assessment tools, professional development initiatives, or broader professionalism in nephrology. Grant recipients are expected to publish and disseminate their findings at national meetings and are encouraged to complete formal or semiformal educational training during the grant period.
