Minority
Faculty Fellowship Program grants increase the number of
health professions faculty who are racial and ethic minorities under-represented
in the health professions. The grants enable schools to provide
a stipend and a training allowance to faculty.

Identify,
recruit and select individuals who are racial and ethnic minorities
under-represented in the health professions for teaching, administration,
or research positions at a health professions institution;

Provide
such individuals with the skills necessary for tenured faculty
positions. This may include training in pedagogy, program administration,
design and conduct of research, grant writing, and the preparation
of articles suitable for publication in peer reviewed journals;
-
Assist
individuals in preparation for an academic career by providing
services such as counseling; and
-
Provide
health services to rural or medically underserved populations.
