2023 SGEA Innovations in Medical Education Submission Form

Questions marked with a * are required

Please use the form below to submit the required application elements by July 14.

The SGEA supports and encourages innovation in medical education. To recognize members who have developed an innovative approach to medical education and to support participation of SGEA members in activities that promote educational scholarship, the SGEA will provide one award of $5000 each year to recognize an outstanding innovation in medical education. Innovations which promote collaborative projects across institutions, the health professions, and sections (UGME, GME, CME, and MESRE) will be given extra consideration. This is an award rather than a grant, so the winner may apply the funds wherever they see the greatest need for continued improvement in medical education.

- All SGEA members are eligible to submit a proposal.
- Members may submit only one proposal per cycle and may not be an author on any other proposal currently receiving SGEA funding.
