Research at the School:

Clinical Faculty Research Grant

The purpose of this grant is to give faculty with limited or no research experience the opportunity to research a clinically-based problem as a principal investigator). Eligible faculty members include those in all SHP disciplines who are teaching in clinical sites, departmental clinical faculty, and other practitioners who are aligned with KU HealthPartners, Inc. The grant award is intended to encourage the study of a clinical problem of interest that informs clinical practice and produces a scholarly outcome, such as the development of a clinical protocol, patient teaching tool, article for publication, or other artifact.

This award is given annually in the amount of $5000, pending adequate resources. Completion of the project is expected within 12 months of award receipt. An abstract of the study must be submitted to the Faculty Practice Committee when completed.
