Introduction
Educational scholarship is a significant component of the education mission of the University of Virginia School of Medicine (SOM). The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) is pleased to announce the 2025-2026 Call for Letters of Intent (LOI) for two distinct types of awards:
- Innovation in Medical Education Award
- Educational Research Award
These 1-year awards support faculty activity related to the educational mission of the School of Medicine. Faculty include those working in: UME, GME, BIMS, and/or Public Health Sciences educational programs. Support is provided to (1) conduct rigorous educational research or (2) develop projects that involve new educational approaches or novel applications of established approaches. The maximum 1-year award is $25,000.
In addition to a general call for submission related to any aspect of the education mission, we are also explicitly soliciting submissions that reflect the mission of the Brodie Committee. The Anne L. Brodie Medical Education Fund Committee supports the innovation of generalist medical education in such areas as patient advocacy, patient-centered care, interprofessional education, etc. The committee has generously committed support to at least one recipient for the 2025 awards program.
The full call can be found on the CEE website. The process involves two stages: letter of intent and full proposal.
- Stage 1: Letter of intent (LOI): All faculty are invited to submit an LOI for either award. Feedback is provided to all who submit.
- Stage 2: Full proposal. A subset of LOIs is identified and investigators are invited to submit a full proposal. Feedback is provided on all full proposals.
Letters of Intent are due by February 10, 2025 at 11:59 p.m. via Qualtrics.
