How many Clinical Scholars are selected each year?
Up to 25 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholars may be selected in a given year. Twenty positions are funded annually by RWJF. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs supports eight additional positions each year through VA Medical Centers affiliated with the participating universities. While surgeons are eligible for RWJF- and VA-funded slots as are individuals in other medical specialties, the American College of Surgeons may support an additional position for a surgeon. The universities provide all participating scholars with stipends that are comparable to stipends for similar research training positions at each institution.
