In order to facilitate development of research among Clinician Educators in the division, we now fund a number of $5,000 grants per year. Application cycles happen twice a year – in the spring and fall quarters. These awards are used to fund pilot research work by faculty looking to develop their research skills and background. Applications for Seed Grants are reviewed and awarded by the faculty leaders of the Evaluation Sciences Unit (ESU). Eligibility: All Clinician Educator faculty members within Stanford Division of Primary Care and Population Health at any faculty level are eligible to apply. Applicants MUST be affiliated with PCPH in order to be eligible. Award fund: Up to $5,000 may be requested for research or project related fees. Because of the small size of the grants, PI salaries, professional memberships, etc. are not permissible uses of seed grants. Award Expectations: As the Principle Investigator of the awarded study, CEs are expected to present results in some form of academic output after study closeout-- e.g. an academic seminar, a scientific poster, a published paper or manuscript. ESU faculty leadership can provide guidance during award period on the feasibility of the various possibilities for presentation. --- Tips for Success: • Clearly articulate their research question, methods, and analytic plan. Applicants should be able to provide evidence of their study's importance and feasibility in regards to scope, funding provided, and stakeholder support. It is clear that thought has been put behind the project's study aims and design. • Demonstrate how the proposed project supports the applicant's career development. Applicant is invested in the opportunity to develop research skills and to develop further expertise in topic. Proposed plan is intentional about building research experience.
