Description
The STFM Project Fund supports STFM Collaboratives and Special Project Teams in planning, developing, implementing, evaluating, and sharing educationally related scholarly projects. Coordinated by the STFM Foundation Executive Committee and funded through the STFM Foundation, it aims to produce findings and resources useful to STFM members and the wider discipline of family medicine.
Projects should advance the sponsoring group’s goals and STFM’s strategic plan while giving a student, resident, or new faculty member a meaningful opportunity to participate in scholarship. The fund emphasizes innovation, measurable outcomes, sound evaluation, dissemination, and the potential for work to continue beyond initial support. Past projects have addressed curricula, faculty development, assessment, mentorship, and physician well-being.
