HHMI Faculty Fellows

About the UPSTEM Faculty Fellows Program

The UPSTEM Faculty Fellowship program is sponsored by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) to build a community of change agents committed to inclusion and equity in STEM at the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College. Fellows will engage in a bi-weekly professional learning community designed to build capacity for implementing evidence-based inclusive teaching practices and deepen understanding of the systemic barriers for marginalized populations in STEM. This year’s theme is “Humanizing STEM” and Fellows will discuss scholarly readings on the impacts of racism in STEM, participate in an online professional development course on inclusive teaching, and engage in leadership development activities to gain the skills necessary for catalyzing change within their departments and institutions.

Schedule, Expectations, and additional info

Meetings will be held both in-person at the University of Utah and Salt Lake Community College, and online. For 2022-3, we are seeking approximately 15-20 UPSTEM Fellows. The Faculty Learning Community will meet from September 2022 through May 2023. Fellows will receive $2,500 for their participation in the program and are expected to attend all cohort meetings.

The application can be found here: https://forms.gle/QMMHwUQjq2TD11Zm9.

Applicants will need to upload a biosketch or CV and request a brief letter of acknowledgment from their chair.

Eligibility

All Tenure Track and Career Line faculty from the College of Science and College of Mines and Earth Sciences at the University of Utah, and the School of Science, Math and Engineering at Salt Lake Community College are eligible. Previous fellowship recipients are welcome to apply.
