Fellowships, Awards, and Grant Opportunities
Frymoyer Scholars Program
Through the Frymoyer Scholars Program, the John W. and Nan P. Frymoyer Fund for Medical Education supports physicians and nurses who are actively engaged in teaching University of Vermont medical and nursing students and who embody the best qualities of the clinician teacher. The program is an investment in outstanding medical education and promotes teaching that emphasizes the art of interprofessional collaborative patient care.
Individuals selected as Frymoyer Scholars are awarded up to $25,000 a year for two years to develop innovative educational products or programs and/or to improve their teaching skills and in turn the relationship between clinician and patient. These funds should be used to complete a project or take courses in faculty development/bedside teaching that might not otherwise be done due to lack of funding. The 2022 Call for Proposals is closed. For more information please contact the Teaching Academy at teaching.academy@med.uvm.edu.
2023 Call for Proposals will open in December.

Northeast Group on Education Affairs (NEGEA) Research Grants
The Northeast Group on Educational Affairs (NEGEA) supports and encourages scholarship in medical education. To help its members participate in opportunities that provide educational scholarship, the NEGEA provides funding to initiate new Medial Education Scholarship, Research and Evaluation (MESRE – formerly RIME) proposals. The NEGEA will provide up to two research grants for two years. The grant award may total up to $3000 for submissions involving one NEGEA institution and $5000 for submissions involving the collaboration of 2 or more institutions. The NEGEA also seeks to promote collaborative projects across institutions, and sections (UGME, GME, CME, and MESRE), and seeks to stimulate the development of a community of educational scholars. The results of these projects will be public and presented at a NEGEA regional meeting.
The NEGEA offers two new grants for early and mid-career faculty: Professional Development Award or the Research Scholar Award. All inquiries and communications should be addressed to the NEGEA MESRE representative (Steven Rougas M.D., M.S. – negeamesre@gmail.com).
