The Dr. Clifton and Lois Dummett Fellowship supports individuals pursuing advanced clinical training or graduate study in research, public health, administration, or law. It recognizes emerging leaders who demonstrate academic excellence, outstanding scholarship, a commitment to social justice, and dedication to improving oral health in systematically under-resourced communities. Applicants must be a U.S. citizen or have permanent resident status. They must be a post-doctoral candidate pursuing an advanced degree in a dental clinical specialty, research, public health, administration, or law. Applicants must also be a current member of the National Dental Association (NDA). They must show evidence of a commitment to improving the oral health of systematically under-resourced communities. Applicants must submit a letter of nomination from their Program Director. Two letters of recommendation are also required, one of which must come from one of the applicant's current professors other than their Program Director. Letters from family members, relatives, or students are not accepted. Awardees must submit a quotation and a video expressing appreciation for the fellowship award.
