The mission of the funder is not explicitly stated, so we will leave this section blank as per the instructions.
The AAP Teaching Fellowships program seeks to provide financial aid in the form of debt relief to early-career periodontal educators. Specifically, it offers $25,000 fellowships to qualified faculty members who are within their first three years of teaching at a U.S. periodontal training institution. The grant is dispersed as $5,000 annually over five years, contingent on the recipient’s ongoing teaching engagements in the specified area. The goal is to encourage and support these educators’ dedication to academia, ensuring the sustained quality and advancement of periodontal education.
