The mission of the funder is not explicitly stated, so we will leave this section blank as per the instructions.
The AAP Foundation provides annual scholarships and fellowships for advancing periodontics. One such fellowship, the $20,000 Nevins Teaching and Clinical Research Fellowship, targets the retention of early-career periodontal researchers and educators. It aims to alleviate the burden of educational debt, allowing recipients to focus on establishing themselves within academic roles. Funded in honor of Myron Nevins, DDS, a notable figure in periodontal clinical research, the fellowship offers financial support over two years to supplement the income of fellows engaged in full-time academic teaching, without replacing existing salaries or stipends.
