Leadership Development Grant Program

Funds may be used to pursue significant advanced training, applicant-designed projects, travel expenses, or other opportunities to enhance the career success of individual faculty.  Grants will provide funding up to $1500 per application.

It is expected that the funds will help to establish the awardee as a leader in one of the following domains (list is not exhaustive): education, leadership/administration, quality improvement, or patient safety. It is further expected that the knowledge or skills gained from this experience will be disseminated locally, such as through a faculty development workshop, QI project, or other means.
