Opportunities for peer-reviewed grant support in Medical Education (Health Professions Education) are limited. Learners and faculty at all stages, who have new projects, are particularly challenged in obtaining support. The CAME Foundation Medical Education (Health Professions Education) Grants support new and innovative scholarly projects in Medical Education (Health Professions Education) that are not part of larger, formalized and funded education research programs. There will be three different grants aimed at supporting different groups.
Eligibility
General criteria:
- Applicants (Principal Investigators) and Supervisors of Principal Investigators, if the Principal Investigator is a learner must be members of Canadian Association for Medical Education.
- Members of the CAME Grant Committee are not eligible to be an investigator (or author) in the project.
- Members of the CAME Executive, or the CAME Foundation Board of Directors cannot be a principal investigator on a submission; however, they can be listed as a co-investigator (or co-author).
Award amount
The maximum available funds per application are $5000, which can be spread over 12 months of support. There is a maximum of $10,000 in funds across the four grants. Funding will be awarded to one or more applicants at the discretion of the CAME Grants Committee. The committee reserves the right to not fund any projects in any given year.
Please note: The CAME Foundation grants are intended to be stand alone projects with no other funding outside of the $5000.00 and are expected to be completed within a 12 month timeframe.

Project Title: Underrepresentation in medical school admissions: a scoping review
Alexa Moschella (she/her) is a third-year medical student at the University of Ottawa. Dedicated to making medical education a more accessible and inclusive space for underrepresented groups, she has spearheaded multiple initiatives including the Canadian First in Family Alliance, Canada’s first mentorship program for medical students who are the first in their family to obtain a university degree, and the Canadian Association of Hispanic and Latino Medical Students – UOttawa Chapter. As an individual who is dissatisfied with sociohistorical and geopolitical barriers that underrepresented medical school applicants face, Alexa hopes that her research project will raise awareness about these challenges and inspire change towards a more inclusive and equitable medical school admissions process.
