Transcript of Educational Research Funding Opportunities W. Eryn Perry.
Classroom-Based Research
AACOM & AOA
• Identification of best practices in teaching and assessment of the core competencies
• Novel curriculum development approaches that positively change learning outcomes
• Identification of strategies to encourage students to develop critical reasoning and problem solving skills
• Studies comparing the outcomes of student learning in inpatient and outpatient teaching / learning environments
• Impact of technology integration into the learning practice• Methods of teaching unique to osteopathic medicine • Institution-based research (decision-making and policy)
Classroom-Based Research
National Board of Medical Examiners: Stemmler Medical Education Research Fund • Program Goal: To fund innovative assessment methods in medical
education or practice • Professionalism• Communication Skills• Simulation technology
• Studies that improve theory, knowledge or practice of assessment of medical education• Developmental or descriptive studies• Effectiveness studies• Clarification studies
Classroom-Based Research
Arthur Vining Davis Foundation & Arnold P. Gold Foundation• Curricular projects on communication skills, caring attitudes,
compassionate care• Curricular interventions • Strong evaluation components • Disseminated to other institutions• Self sustaining • Multi-institutional proposals are encouraged
Classroom-Based Research
US Department of Education: Funding for Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) Program• Innovative reforms in curriculum and instruction• Improvement of postsecondary instruction and operations• Retention and program completion• Equal access to underrepresented students
STEM & Pipeline Programs
National Science Foundation: Advancing Informal STEM Learning• Evidence-based understanding of design and development of STEM
learning experiences • Provide multiple pathways for broadening access of STEM learning
experiences• Advance innovative research on, and assessment of, STEM learning in
informal environments • Projects supported:
Pathway Projects Service to Practice
Innovations in Development Broad Implementation
STEM & Pipeline Programs
American Educational Research Association• Interdisciplinary teams studying STEM learning and/or
student achievement in STEM • Develop or benefit from new quantitative measures or
methodological approaches for addressing educational issues
• Proposals must use data sets supported by federal agencies• Projects must be related to science or mathematics
education
STEM & Pipeline Programs
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
WK Kellogg Foundation
Honda Foundation• Initiate pipeline programs to improve educational trajectory
• Develop successful STEM education practices • Underserved populations / underrepresented minorities• Develop base of evidence for quality improvement within
current programs
Outreach & Service-based Programs
Health Resources and Services Administration• Expand health care delivery into rural areas and
improve access to healthcare• Conduct health screenings and health fairs, education
and training, etc.• Base projects on evidence-based or promising practice
models• Must demonstrate health outcomes and sustainability
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation• Program development and service demonstrations• Health services research and evaluations
Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation• Improve education for care of underserved populations • Emphasis on primary care
WK Kellogg Foundation• Increase access to care and improve quality of care for
children – nationally and internationallyOutreach & Service-based Programs
Gates Foundation: Global Health Initiatives • Delivery of healthcare interventions• Develop affordable and reliable new solutions • Develop integrated health solutions• Funds:• Community health worker programs• Information and communication systems• Behavior change• Nutrition programsOutreach & Service-based
Programs
Patient Care & Quality Improvement
AACOM• Best practices in teaching and assessment of
interprofessional competencies• Identification in the unique features of OME• Impact of technology integration• Impact of interprofessional education
Arthur Vining Davis Foundation
Arnold P. Gold Foundation• Integrated approach to patient support• Patient as partner on the healthcare team• Effective methods of interprofessional education• Link humanistic practices and patient outcomes• Patient-centered perspectives
Patient Care & Quality Improvement
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation• Training and fellowship programs• Interprofessional collaboration
WK Kellogg Foundation• Development of model curricula towards providing primary health
care to children
Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation• Interprofessional education and teamwork• New models for clinical educationPatient Care & Quality
Improvement
National Institutes of Health: Innovative Programs to Enhance Research Training (IPERT)• Creative and innovative educational activities to
complement and enhance training to meet nation’s clinical research needs
• Program supports • Short courses for skills development • Academic development • Enrichment activitiesPatient Care & Quality
Improvement
Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ): Demonstration and Dissemination Program• Dissemination and implementation of a specified project
concerning delivery of care• Evidence to make health care safer, higher quality and more
accessible• Priority: Implement patient centered outcomes research
(PCOR) • Priorities include an interest in rural healthcare delivery. Patient Care & Quality
Improvement
Final Thoughts
• Look for sponsors with a good fit (identify mission and priorities of sponsors)
• Make sure your research interests align closely with the program and agency/organization’s interests
• Research each program and determine how your vision can be crafted to match funding priorities
• Understand review criteria and process• Get to know the program officer or grants manager• Contact the Office of Research Administration!
