Fine Family Academy of Educators Grant and Award Opportunities
The Academy offers Grant and Award opportunities to faculty and educators to encourage, support and recognize the pursuit of educational excellence and scholarship.
Educational Excellence Awards
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
(The deadline for the 2024 nominations for these awards has passed. Please check back for next year's deadline.)
Education Research Grants
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 sciences education. Collaborative projects are encouraged. An FFAOE member can apply individually or in collaboration with a non-FFAOE member. Non-members can only apply in collaboration with a FFAOE member. Proposals must be consistent with Boyer's Criteria for Scholarship and be completed in 2 years. The results are expected to be disseminated at Educational Scholarship Day and to the wider external health sciences education community.
The deadline for the 2-page proposal is January 31, 2025. 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 commit to applying for membership.
