The Dean’s Scholarship Scholars (DSS) Program is designed to provide focused time and  mentorship for individuals who desire to increase their concentration on the research/scholarship component of the mission by enhancing their writing and publication skills with the ultimate goal of publishing in peer-reviewed journals or writing chapters in textbooks.

The DSS Program provides one semester/six months of protected time and editorial resources to awardees. Typical activities might include submitting abstracts and manuscripts of quality improvement initiatives or state-of-the-art clinical topics or research findings and participating in writing accountability groups. Appointment as a scholar is a competitive process for early- to mid-career (assistant or associate professor) faculty members.

For the spring 2022 cycle only, the application deadline has been extended to Nov. 1, 2021.
