The mission of the BBCH Scholarship Academy is to support the academic career success of people who work with or on behalf of children at MaineHealth member and affiliated institutions. We will work together to advance each member’s excellence in clinical, basic science and health services research; quality improvement projects; rigorous advocacy projects; and innovations in teaching.

The leaders of up to five new projects (either individuals or teams of two) will be selected to become members of the BBCH Scholarship Academy in the spring of 2022.
