Call for 2025 IAMSE Educational Scholarship & Curriculum Innovation Grants

The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) encourages and supports scholarship in medical science education by funding multiple educational scholarship and curriculum innovation grants for up to $5,000 each.

  • IAMSE Educational Scholarship Grants support projects designed to systematically collect and analyze data related to medical education, which may employ a variety of methods, but seeks to produce generalizable knowledge for dissemination.
  • IAMSE Curriculum Innovation Grants support projects designed for the general enrichment of teaching and learning that go beyond normal expectations of a faculty member, including but not limited to advances in pedagogy, technology, content development, or professional development.

 

All IAMSE members are eligible to submit a grant proposal. Preference will be given to new projects. Only proposals relevant to the mission of IAMSE will be considered for funding. The results of funded projects must be presented at a future IAMSE Conference. Successful applicants will be announced via email and at the 2025 IAMSE Conference.
