RWJF Clinical Scholars Legacy Program Application Period Now Open - National Clinician Scholars Program,
As you may have heard, the University of Pennsylvania, University of California, Los Angeles, University of Michigan, and Yale University have formed their own consortium to continue a site-based research training program after the RWJF Clinical Scholars program ends. The new program, the National Clinician Scholars Program (NCSP), builds on the legacy of the RWJF Clinical Scholars program and expands the program by including nurse scientists in addition to physicians to address new and emerging issues related to health care delivery and improving the health of communities. The goal of the new inter-professional research training program is to cultivate health equity, eliminate health disparities, invent new models of care, and achieve higher quality health care at lower costs by training nurse and physician researchers who work as leaders and collaborators embedded in communities, health care systems, government, foundations, and think tanks in the U.S. and around the world.
The application period is open for the initial NCSP 2016-18 cohort. Please pass along this information to prospective physicians and nurses. The cohort of up to 20 physicians and nurses will be receive financial support from their institutions, community partner agencies, and other local and national funders. For more information on the new program, eligibility requirements, and application information please access the NCSP website. Penn, UCLA, Michigan, and Yale recently posted press releases on the launch of the program. The early action deadline is May 15, 2015, and the Regular Admissions deadline is September 1, 2015. The first cohort will enter the program on July 1, 2016. Any questions can be directed to the NCSP at nationalclinicianscholars@gmail.com. The NPO and training sites look forward to the final cohort of the RWJF Clinical Scholars program who start July 1, 2015. We are excited to have such a talented and large class of scholars. These scholars will have the opportunity as second years to interact with the first cohort of the NCSP.
