Learning Opportunities
- Junior Faculty as Medical Educators (J-FAME) Certificate Program
- The J-FAME certificate program for Pediatric Junior Faculty interested in elevating their skills as medical educators. The course is a 6-month virtual curriculum that will result in a special distinction/certificate upon completion.
- Applications are due July 15, 2024
- Fill out this form or email heather.collette@yale.edu for more information.
- Medical Education Research Certificate (MERC) Program
- The Medical Education Research Certificate (MERC) program is intended to provide the knowledge necessary to understand the purposes and processes of medical education research, to become informed consumers of the medical education research literature, and to be effective collaborators in medical education research. Alone, MERC is not intended to produce independent medical education researchers. The program is open to all who are interested in improving their educational research skills and is targeted for those with a background in medical education but relatively less experience in conducting educational research. The courses are targeted for clinicians and other educators who desire to learn research skills that will enable collaborative participation in medical education research projects.

Grants, Awards, and Funding Opportunities
NEW Internal Funding Opportunity: Projects in Pediatric Education (PIPE) Award
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.
COMSEP Grant Program
Spring 2024 applications are now OPEN!
- The purpose of this initiative is to promote and support innovative educational scholarship that is designed, implemented, and evaluated by COMSEP members. Selected educational grant(s) will be supported for a total of $5,000 each. A maximum of two grants will be funded.
- Mentorship and its associated feedback and guidance are important to COMSEP and so each grant application should include information about the principal investigator’s project mentor, described in greater detail below. The total funding period of the grant is 24 months; hence projects that can be completed in 18 months are advised so that the remainder of the time can be used for data analysis/presentation and manuscript preparation.
- Deadline to apply is June 17, 2024

AMA Change MedED Innovation Award

This round of innovation grants will focus on projects about coaching in medical education across the continuum of physician professional development.
- Specifically, AMA seeks projects that address effectiveness of coaching through rigorous evaluation methodologies and projects that promote scalability and dissemination of coaching programs. Inter-institutional collaborative projects will be particularly competitive. Applications from undergraduate medical education, graduate medical education and practice settings are welcome.
- View the submission guidelines and apply now.
- Deadline for applications is June 21, 2024, 5 p.m. Central. Acceptances will be sent by Aug. 2. Grants will start Nov. 1.
NPPD Research/Advocacy/DEI Grant Program
- Projects to be considered for funding must be initiated, designed, and executed by resident/fellow physicians or coordinators enrolled in NPPD pediatrics training programs.
- One resident/fellow physician or coordinator should be identified as principal investigator (PI). Each proposal should have an identified Project Mentor and approval from the relevant Program Director (PD).
- The subject matter for such advocacy, QI, DEI, and research initiatives must pertain to the education and training of pediatric learners. Proposals that promote DEI efforts and collaboration between institutions or an interdisciplinary approach will be a priority.
