The Anne D. Haffajee Fellowship was created in recognition of Dr. Haffajee's many contributions to clinical research in Periodontology and Oral Biology and her prominence as a female leader and role model in the field. A goal of this fellowship is for researchers to have the support they need at the early stages of their scientific careers. The fellowship is open to members of AADOCR and Women in Science Network (WISN) at the time of application; those who are within 10 years of their last professional degree; those who have demonstrated a commitment to a research career in Oral Biology as well as academic promise, which will be evaluated based on the candidate's CV, project and the support demonstrated in the supervisor/department head letter; those who hold a DDS/DMD and/or Ph.D., or equivalent advanced degree; and those who hold an appointment at the post-doctoral, instructor, assistant professor level or equivalent at an accredited dental school or academic research center in the United States. Emphasis will be placed on applicants in the fields of Periodontology, Microbiology and Clinical Research, but candidates pursuing careers in other areas of the Dental, Oral, and Craniofacial Research spectrum are encouraged to apply.
