National Advisory Committee

The National Advisory Committee (NAC) of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Physician Faculty Scholars program is involved in a wide range of activities including program design and oversight, Scholar selection, and Scholar mentorship. The program will assign each Scholar to a NAC mentor who will discuss project management and career development issues with them in person at the program’s annual meeting and throughout the year as required. NAC mentors may also offer other assistance, such as reviewing and critiquing manuscripts and grant proposals and writing letters of recommendation.

The National Advisory Committee members are national leaders in health and health care who have been selected not only because of their prestige but their commitment to the goals of this program and its Scholars.
