Welcome to Nurse Faculty Scholars (NFS), a new National Program of the
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
The program was created to help talented junior nursing faculty advance in their
careers by giving them the opportunity to develop a research program and participate
in other scholarly activities; engage in institutional and national mentoring, leadership
training, networking among scholars and colleagues in nursing and other fields;
and have protected time to gain the critical skills needed for a successful career
in academic nursing. The program is directed by Jacquelyn Campbell, Ph.D., R.N.,
F.A.A.N., Anna D. Wolf Chair and Professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing.
Selected scholars will be supported for 60 percent time for each of the three years
of the program through their sponsoring institutions. A nursing school can nominate
one candidate annually, but may have no more than two active scholars
in the program at any one time. Candidates must be junior faculty members with at
least two and no more than five years of experience in the faculty role at the start
of the program.
