Description
The STFM Project Fund supports STFM Collaboratives and Special Project Teams in planning, developing, implementing, evaluating, and disseminating educationally related scholarly projects. Coordinated by the STFM Foundation Executive Committee and funded through the STFM Foundation, the program seeks outcomes that benefit STFM members, the organization, and the discipline of family medicine.
The fund emphasizes innovative work that adds new knowledge or advances existing knowledge, aligns with STFM’s strategic plan, and supports the sponsoring group’s goals. Projects should produce measurable outcomes and useful results or products, with valid evaluation methods and clear dissemination plans. The program also gives students, residents, and new faculty meaningful opportunities to participate in scholarship and become familiar with STFM.
