Department of Medicine Weekly Roundup - October 3 2024 - Fall 2024 Strategic MEdS Grant Competition due November 4, 2024
This grants program has been designed to support Medical Education Scholarship (MEdS) projects with a defined and timely objective. The program also aims to fund pilot projects, which will produce data needed for applications to external funding agencies. The funding available for any individual project will range from $5,000 to $10,000, depending on the period of funding required. Of note, we do prefer funding many smaller grants, rather than single larger applications. Up to $20,000 will be awarded for each competition.
The MEdS team will be accepting short proposals (maximum three pages) with a deadline of November 4, 2024.
In keeping with the strategic plan of the Department of Medicine, priority will be given to projects that promote research and scholarship in:
- Culture & Inclusion (and related portfolios, like Equity);
- adapting and refining competency-based education, and
- valuing clinician teaching & innovation.
Project proposals that extend beyond these priority areas will also be considered.
NEW: To assist with your grant applications, we are offering office hours where you can learn about what makes a good grant application and ask any questions you may have.
