The Macy Faculty Scholars Program is designed to identify and nurture the careers of educational innovators in medicine and nursing.
About the Program
The Macy Faculty Scholars Program—the first of its kind—launched in December 2010. The program is designed to identify and nurture the careers of promising educational innovators in medicine and nursing.
Applications for the 2019 Macy Faculty Scholars Program are open and due February 13, 2019, by 3pm ET. To read more about the program and apply, please visit this page. For full details about the selection criteria and application process, please see the program brochure.

Each year, the Foundation selects up to five faculty leaders. Each Scholar receives salary support up to $100,000 per year over two years. As part of this career development program, the Foundation supports an educational change project in each Scholar’s institution, develops a national network for the Scholars, and provides career advice from a National Advisory Committee.
Each candidate must be nominated by the Dean of their school of medicine or nursing, which must commit to protecting at least 50 percent of the candidate’s time to pursue an educational innovation project at their institution. Each school may nominate only one candidate each year, and candidates must identify a senior faculty member to serve as their mentor. A nursing or medical school with a first-year Macy Faculty Scholar is precluded from nominating a candidate the subsequent year.
Advisory Committee
A National Advisory Committee guides the Macy Faculty Scholars Program and provides Scholars with career advice.
