Tripartite Winners

Mentor of the Year

Each year, the Medical Faculty Council (MFC) recognizes up to two faculty members with an award on Research Day. MFC established the Mentor of the Year Award to:

  • Recognize and celebrate the importance of mentorship within the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine academic community
  • Encourage all departments and divisions to actively support and promote mentoring among their members
  • Acknowledge established faculty members who foster the professional growth of junior, less experienced faculty to help them achieve their full potential

See the Mentor of the Year Award page on the MFC for nomination information and lists of past winners.

The Dr. Virginia Bishop Community-Academic Research Partnership Award

The Alliance for Research in Chicagoland Communities (ARCC) established this award to recognize community-engaged research partnerships that exemplify strong collaborative community research principles and have made an impact on the health of their community. ARCC is part of the Center for Community Health serving Northwestern University’s Institute for Public Health and Medicine and Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute.

Their 12th Annual Prize was awarded to the Breaking Barriers to Vision Care Partnership, a community-academic partnership to improve eye health equity for children in historically excluded Chicago communities between The Experiences That Matter Foundation and the Feinberg School of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology.
