The American Dental Education Association (ADEA) and Johnson & Johnson Healthcare Products, Division of McNeil-PPC, Inc., fund this program honoring Enid A. Neidle, former President of ADEA (1985-86). Under her leadership, ADEA adopted its policy of promoting the advancement of women in dental education. This is a unique opportunity for a dental educator to concentrate on issues affecting women faculty.
This is a cumulative three-month experience at the ADEA office in Washington, DC. The scholar receives a stipend of $6,000 for travel and living expenses. The scholar’s institution continues to provide salary and fringe benefits for the duration of the experience. While in Washington, DC, the scholar will gain a distinct perspective on issues facing women faculty including promotion, advancement and tenure policies; entry and re-entry into the workforce; child care and elder care; women’s health, work patterns, and advanced education and research opportunities; and other gender-related issues.
