By Anton Zuiker
Proposals to be considered for July 1, 2011 funding are due December 10, 2010 by 5:00pm. This support has been contributed by Duke University Health System as part of the overall GME Endowment Fund. The goal of the funding is to reward excellence in teaching, assessment, and program improvement by encouraging innovation and collaboration. The objective is to provide sufficient seed money to fund innovative programs/curricula/assessment/faculty development which ideally facilitates the program(s) competitiveness to obtain additional resources. Projects must include a clear plan for measuring educational impact and sustainability.  Funding is in the range of $5K-100,000 per year for up to three years.
