IAMSE 2016 Scholarship Award

Dear Colleagues,

The International Association of Medical Science Educators (IAMSE) wishes to encourage and support scholarship in medical science education, and therefore announces the 2016 educational scholarship grant program. IAMSE will award one research grant in the amount of $3000 for a 2-year grant period.

All IAMSE members are eligible to submit a grant proposal. Preference will be given to new projects, and must be relevant to the mission of IAMSE. The results of funded projects must be presented at a future IAMSE meeting. The initial funding award will be announced via email, and at the 2016 IAMSE meeting.

Applications are to be submitted to Brandi (brandi@iamse.org) via email by January 15, 2016. You can download the instructions for grant proposals here.

All information regarding the IAMSE Educational Scholarship Grant, including the application process, eligibility, proposal format, and evaluation criteria can be found on the IAMSE website (www.iamse.org).

Thank you,

Joe Stein
Chair, IAMSE Educational Scholarship Committee

Carol Nichols – Board of Directors

I have been a member of IAMSE for over ten years and have participated in most of the meetings since that time. IAMSE is one of the few professional organizations that crosses many disciplines and health science professions. During my time as an IAMSE member, I have had the opportunity to network with colleagues around the world who have similar professional goals and interests and grow professionally through consultation and collaboration with the diverse IAMSE membership. When my home institution began the process of restructuring and further integrating our preclinical curriculum in 2008, IAMSE was one of my most valuable sources for consultation, “best practices” information, and cutting edge ideas. Most importantly, the friends I have made though IAMSE keep me excited to return to the meeting each year. I feel like I have found a wonderful professional home, and each meeting is like a reunion!
