Description
The Catalyst Awards for Transformation in Graduate Medical Education are designed to support innovative projects that have the potential to significantly improve the clinical learning environment for residents and fellows. These awards focus on one of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation’s three priority areas and aim to foster transformative change by funding initiatives that enhance the quality and effectiveness of clinical training. Projects should directly engage learners, demonstrate potential for impact beyond a single institution, and ideally be co-created with learners.
