How much funding is available?

GMEI intends to fund up to $5,000 in applications for each of the funding cycles for a total of $10,000 during 2008-2009 academic year.

Do I have to have my Program Director sign this application?

Yes, without a Program Director signature, the application will be considered incomplete and will not be considered for funding. GMEI is relying on your Program Director to assess whether the project you are proposing contributes to your educational development and the medical community at large.

When do I get the money if my application is approved?

GMEI will require your signature on an agreement indicating the terms and conditions of this funding. Basically, we will ask that you confirm your intention to use the funds to support your research in the way indicated on your application, that you will submit an abstract to the Lansing Community Research Day, and that you will complete a final report explaining how the funds were used and identifying where you submitted abstracts or presented on your findings. Funded projects will be recognized during Research Day in the event program.
