N1 - Funding Information:
In 1999, the Hartford Foundation began an initiative aimed at enhancing the need for social work educators to train practitioners to improve the health and well-being of older adults and their families. One of the projects funded under this agenda is the Hartford Geriatric Social Work Faculty Scholars Program, which is administered by The Gerontological Society of America. The Faculty Scholars Program utilizes a formal, semi-structured long-distance mentoring model intended to develop new faculty scholars in research, teaching, and professional activities.

N2 - The John A. Hartford Foundation, in collaboration with the Gerontological Society of America, has developed new models to create geriatric faculty capacity within social work. The Faculty Scholars Program is building faculty leadership in academic geriatric social work through a strategic approach that includes long-distance national and institution-based mentoring. While mentoring models have proven to be effective means of career development, this is relatively new in academic social work and little is known about the impact of long-distance mentoring in association with sponsorship from a mentor at the scholar’s home institution. This paper describes the mentoring model and its conceptual underpinnings. Evaluation data from an ongoing evaluation is presented in discussion of the strengths and limitations of the mentoring model.
