Deadline for application: October 15, 2015
Submit material to CAME@afmc.ca.

Clinical faculty members in a Canadian faculty of health sciences/medicine (or equivalent), who are members of CAME, seeking funding for scholarly projects related to medical education are encouraged to submit applications.

Opportunities for peer-reviewed grant support in medical education are limited. Emerging educators and those with new unfunded projects are particularly challenged in attracting support at these critical times. This award is meant to support new and innovative projects in medical education that are not part of a larger, formalized and funded education research program.

Application process:
Applicants are requested to submit:
1) an abridged CV (maximum 3 pages, focusing on previous research and education scholarship)

2) a project summary (maximum 1000 words) including:
a) background and rationale
b) proposed study question/objective
c) methods
d) analysis plan
e) expected outcome or impact

3) a brief description of the intended dissemination strategy

4) budget. Note the following expenses are ineligible: salary support for PI or other faculty member(s), University/institution overhead, computers and other equipment unless integral to the study (e.g., tape recorder); publication costs in an Open Access journal; .

5) a letter of support from departmental chair/chief or education dean.
