Award and Research Grant Review Committees
A review committee exists for each named Foundation award and research grants whose purpose and function is to review applications and determine recipients. Each award and research grant is assigned an individual review committee consisting of members who have expertise or experience in the topic addressed. The committees are appointed by the Academy Foundation Chair. If you are interested in participating on one of these review committees, please email our team.
Scholarship Review Committee
The Academy Foundation Scholarship Committee reviews all scholarship applications and is comprised Academy members appointed by the Academy Foundation Board Chair. A Chair is appointed each year from among the members who are serving their fourth or fifth year on the committee. If you are interested in participating on this committee, please email our team.
Fellowship Selection Committees
A selection committee is convened for each new Foundation fellowship opportunity. The purpose and function of these committees is to review and score applications, determine candidates to interview, conduct virtual interviews, and align on the top candidate for the fellowship. Each fellowship is assigned an individual selection committee consisting of members who have expertise or experience in the focus of the fellowship. The committees are appointed by the Academy Foundation Chair. For more information please email our team.
Foundation Scholarship, Award and Grant Recipients
Our Foundation continually seeks past Foundation scholarship, award and grant recipients to give short presentations and testimonials through our alumni network to Affiliate, DPG and MIG meetings and through print and electronic marketing communications. To be considered for one of these opportunities, please email our team.
Student Opportunities
