FELLOWSHIP PURPOSE

a. Program Announcement

This pilot program announcement provides information, policies, and application procedures to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities/systems and Central Office programs regarding the Advanced Fellowship Program in Health Professions Education Evaluation and Research that will be supported by the Office of Academic Affiliations (OAA). VA facilities/systems, ideally in partnership with their academic affiliates or other entities, that have a commitment to advancing health professions education are encouraged to apply for the establishment of this program at their site. Applications for this pilot program will be restricted to currently approved OAA Coordinating Centers (also known as hub sites) associated with specific Advanced Fellowship programs and/or special training programs across other OAA portfolios.

Please note that the list of eligible sites below includes both Coordinating Centers as well as individual sites within focused OAA educational programs and Centers of Excellence. Coordinating Centers may request funding for fellowship stipends at their facility or at a facility within their broader program. However, if a Coordinating Center seeks fellowship funding for the program at a different facility from the coordinating center, the application must clearly state how the educational program will be supported by and include the direct participation of the coordinating center itself. VA facilities that are eligible to apply for this program as part of their connection to a broader OAA national program (e.g. Centers of Excellence or VA Nursing Academy) must submit their application in partnership with their respective Coordinating Center or VA Central Office partnering institution.

Eligible sites include the following:
