Nominations for the three Educational Excellence Awards are now being accepted through Friday, September 24, 2021.
- Three Educational Excellence Awards designed to recognize and celebrate outstanding educators and acknowledge achievements in education. A call for nominations is issued in August as part of the annual EVMS Employee Service and Recognition Awards. Each awardee receives a $500 monetary stipend. The three award categories are:
Educational Innovation in Curriculum Development, Teaching, or Assessment
Educational Leadership
Educational Scholarship - Two Education Research grants of $3,500 each. Grants will be given for projects or reviews/synthesis papers that make a substantial contribution to advancing research, theory or practice in health professions education. Collaborative projects are encouraged. An FFAOE member can apply individually or in collaboration, including with a non-FFAOE member. Non-members can only apply in collaboration with a FFAOE member. Proposals must be consistent with previously published criteria for scholarship, and be completed in 2-years. The results are expected to be disseminated at EVMS Educational Scholarship Day and to the wider external health profession education community. $1,500 will be given when the project begins and $2,000 when the project is disseminated.
The deadline for the 2-page proposal is generally in January. Reviews will take place in February and announcements made in March. Proposals that do not focus on education will not be accepted. Non-members of the Academy must make a commitment to apply for membership.
