Robert Wood Johnson Foundation - Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program

RWJF invites applications for four-year postdoctoral research awards to physicians, dentists, and nurses from historically marginalized backgrounds.

Scholars should be committed to working to eliminate health disparities by achieving senior rank in academic medicine, dentistry, or nursing. The program provides scholars with development of research, academic, and leadership skills; ongoing mentoring by a distinguished national advisory committee; a grounding in the social determinants of health, health equity, and the elements of a culture of health; and growth in communications skills to advance the impact of scholars’ research and scholarship in the field.

RWJF will fund up to 10 four-year awards of up to $420,000 each, with scholars receiving an annual stipend of up to $75,000 each, complemented by a $30,000 annual grant to support research activities.

RWJF will give preference to those who have recently completed their formal clinical training or—in the case of nurses—their research doctorate.
