* Innovation funds are not available in FY22

Purpose

The Stanford School of Medicine Tuition Revenue Sharing program promotes innovations in teaching and mentoring by funding extraordinary expenses for new, unusual, or reimagined courses or other endeavors. The program is pleased to announce that we will be awarding grants to fund courses or curricula that propose new teaching and mentoring ideas, innovations and interventions throughout the Stanford School of Medicine. Proposals will be reviewed for their significance, expertise to carry out the proposed work, innovation, and approach (e.g., plan, methods for design, implementation, dissemination, and evaluation) for innovations targeted toward PhD/basic science trainees only during FY2019-20. Selection will be a competitive process. 

The Innovation Fund is separate from the Teaching and Mentoring (TMA) Innovation Academy Fund.
