Opportunities for Educators: Lead, Learn, Disseminate

The Yale Department of Pediatrics promotes excellence in teaching and mentoring by developing, supporting, and recognizing clinicians and educators to train the next generation of diverse pediatric care providers and thought leaders. Through this award we will support and mentor faculty with limited experience in medical education scholarship as well as those with a history of previous scholarship. We will fund projects aimed at improving teaching, improving learning, curriculum development and mentoring.

This is a rolling application with no deadline. For the full description and application instructions, click here or contact Melissa Langhan for questions at Melissa.Langhan@Yale.edu.

• In 2013, the Research Committee of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) established the Early Simulation Career Research Award Program (formerly the SSH Novice Research Grant Program) to support the development of new investigators and research initiatives. Early career researchers developing methodologically sound simulation-based research projects using quantitative, qualitative, or hybrid, mixed-method approaches are sought for these awards. Studies that are both innovative and have strong potential for a positive impact on the simulation field are encouraged.
