GIVME Grant
Great Ideas for Vanderbilt Medical Education Grant Program
The School of Medicine, in conjunction with the Office of Undergraduate Medical Education and the Office for Teaching and Learning in Medicine, provides a pool of funding to develop great ideas for teaching and learning. Proposals may be submitted by Vanderbilt University School of Medicine faculty or house staff for UME, GME, and CME projects. The grant will provide start up support for implementing a new curricular idea or researching an educational problem. This year GIVME will award up to three grants related to one or more of the broad priorities where the School and OTLM are engaged in research and development efforts. Grant awards will ordinarily be $5000 for each accepted project, but may vary slightly according to each request. A senior education researcher will be assigned to each awardee to assist in the successful completion of the project. Requests for Proposals are announced in the spring and awards will begin July 1 of each year.
