Pediatric Education Grant

Pediatric Medical Education Grant Program

Purpose: To promote and support innovative educational scholarship that is designed, implemented, and evaluated by faculty and trainees in the Department of Pediatrics at Dell Medical School.

Eligibility: The principal investigator and any co-PIs must be faculty members or trainees of the department at the time of application and funding of the grant.
