As part of the 30-year anniversary of the Fellowship, we initiated a study to understand its impacts on the higher education community by examining the effect that the Fellowship has had on individual winners, the influence that fellows have been able to exert in their institutions after being awarded the 3M Fellowship, and the influence that the 3M National Teaching Fellowship program has had nationally and internationally. To identify the various impacts of the 3MNTF, we conducted focus groups with the 2012 cohort, 3M retreat facilitators and coordinators, and the representative from 3M Canada, as well as the new fellows from the 2013 cohort. In 2014, we conducted two focus groups with senior university administrators and educational developers. In 2015, we developed and administered an online survey to faculty, administrators, educational developers, and students at a number of Canadian universities. We found that the 3M is one of the most recognizable teaching awards in Canada’s higher education landscape. The structure of the fellowship has helped to shape local and international teaching awards, while individual fellows often provide mentorship to future leaders in education.  \nLe Prix national 3M d’excellence en enseignement fait partie du paysage de l’enseignement supérieur canadien depuis 31 ans et il regroupe maintenant une communauté de 328 lauréats et lauréates auxquels viennent se joindre jusqu’à dix lauréats et lauréates supplémentaires chaque année. Dans le cadre du 30ème anniversaire du Prix, nous avons lancé une étude afin d’en comprendre ses effets sur la communauté de l’enseignement supérieur. Pour cela, nous avons examiné les effets que le Prix avaiteus sur les lauréats et les lauréates individuels, sur l’influence que les lauréats et les lauréates ont été en mesure d’exercer dans leurs établissements après avoir obtenu le Prix 3M, ainsi que sur l’influence que le programme du Prix national 3M d’excellence en enseignement avait eue aux niveaux national et international. Afin d’identifier les divers effets du Prix 3M, nous avons organisé des groupes de discussion avec les lauréats et les lauréates de 2012, les animateurs et les animatrices et les coordinateurs et les coordinatrices, des représentants et des représentantes de la compagnie 3M Canada, ainsi que les nouveaux lauréats et les nouvelles lauréates de 2013. En 2014, nous avons organisé deux groupes de discussion avec des administrateurs et des administratrices ","cbCaivap7db6zHIp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivap7db6zHIp","pdf",239326,17,"English","# Abstract\n## Fellowship background and scope\n## Research design and data sources\n## Findings and impacts","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the 30-year anniversary study of the 3MNTF?\",\"answer\":\"The study aimed to understand impacts of the Fellowship on individual winners, on influence fellows had in their institutions after receiving the award, and on national and international effects of the program.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the authors collect evidence for the research?\",\"answer\":\"They conducted focus groups with the 2012 cohort, retreat facilitators and coordinators, and 3M Canada representatives, and also with new fellows from the 2013 cohort.
