The application and selection process for 2010 is now open and will be closed on January 15, 2010. Nominations submitted after January 15, 2010 will be considered for the 2011 application cycle.
Faculty members are encouraged to self-nominate for membership in the Academy. To be eligible for entry into the Academy, the faculty member must submit a CV and an educator portfolio that presents evidence of scholarship in one of the specific educational categories indicated in the Standards for Membership. This application will be reviewed by a Review Panel in a manner similar to an NIH grant-review study section (see Selection Process). Those individuals meeting or exceeding the criteria will be accepted as Fellows in the Academy.
Because the review process is designed to focus on applicants' educational contributions and achievements within a professional context, the applicant's dean (or other appropriate official) will be asked to sign off that s/he knows of no reason that would preclude the consideration of the named applicant for inclusion in the Academy. A form requesting such input will be sent to the applicant's dean after the applicant's completed information has been submitted.
To facilitate the NAOME application process individuals will need to complete and submit an on-line nomination form which will require then to upload a CV for reference purposes during the review process, as well as an educator’s portfolio specifically related to one (and only one) of the four categories of educational scholarship (see portfolio preparation).
