Nevins Teaching and Clinical Research Fellowship Grant

The $20,000 Nevins Teaching and Clinical Research Fellowship, offered by the American Academy of Periodontology, aims to support emerging periodontal educators facing educational debt. This fellowship is awarded over two years, providing $10,000 annually to assist with income alongside full-time academic teaching roles. Eligible candidates include board-certified periodontal educators with one to five years of teaching experience in U.S. programs, selected through a competitive application and interview process.

The American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) Foundation improves the periodontal and general health of the public through support of research and education. The AAP Foundation oversees a number of annual scholarships and fellowships in the field of periodontics.
The $20,000 Nevins Teaching and Clinical Research Fellowship was created to address the retention of top periodontal clinical researchers and educators early in their careers. This Fellowship is intended to provide personal funding and support to those individuals who may be facing educational debt while striving to establish themselves in an academic role. The award was created by generous donors in honor of Myron Nevins, DDS, a leader in periodontal clinical research.
The Nevins Fellowship will be a $20,000 Fellowship paid over two years. The Fellow will receive $10,000 at the end of each of two years of full-time academic teaching experience. It is intended to supplement the fellow’s income and not intended to replace any salary or stipend to which the Fellow would otherwise be entitled.
