Description
The Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM) Project Fund is designed to empower STFM Collaboratives and Special Project Teams to create, implement, and disseminate scholarly educational projects that advance the discipline of family medicine. Projects must be collaborative, involve at least two STFM members, and provide a significant role for a student, resident, or new faculty member (defined as within 7 years of their faculty appointment).
