Hubbard Simulation and Safety Fund Grant

This new grant supports the pediatric simulation training efforts at the U of MN being done in partnership with Masonic Children's Hospital. It is administered through pediatric faculty experts in these areas.

Trainees (pediatric and medicine pediatric residents, pediatric subspecialty fellows) and department of pediatrics faculty can apply to use this funding for pilot education projects related to simulation and/or safety. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and may be funded up to three times per year, based on established deadlines. Applicants will be notified of the award decision within one month—sufficiently in advance of the next MSimulation funding cycle. Grants awarded will be $250-$2500.

Application Information

Internal Support Offered on a Rolling Basis

Departmental Support for Research Publication Costs

Applications are considered on a rolling basis - Support is limited to 1 paper per fiscal year (July 1- June 30) per faculty member who is a first or senior author.

Recognizing that the costs of publication have risen significantly, especially for open access journals whose fees are mandatory, the Department of Pediatrics is pleased to offer financial support to help offset research publication fees.

Application Instructions

Mock Study Section

The Department of Pediatrics participates in our Medical School's Mock Study section program to help primarily our Assistant Professors get their first national level grants. This initiative uses an inter-departmental, 2-step process for providing constructive feedback on NIH grant applications. The first step is review of the specific aims page, and the second step is a review of the full proposal. If you are interested in receiving feedback on your NIH application please contact Dr. Angela Panoskaltsis-Mortari ([email protected]).
