The
Harold Amos Medical Faculty Development Program was established by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to increase the number of faculty from historically disadvantaged backgrounds who are pursuing senior rank in academic medicine, dentistry, or nursing and who can serve as a model for others from similar backgrounds. The program defines the term "historically disadvantaged" to mean the challenges facing individuals because of their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and similar factors.
Through the program, the foundation will make four-year postdoctoral research awards to physicians, dentists, and nurses from historically disadvantaged backgrounds who are committed to advancing their careers and achieving senior rank in their field; fostering the development of future leaders within their field; improving the heath of underserved populations; and/or working toward understanding and eliminating health disparities by achieving senior rank in academic medicine, dentistry, or nursing.
