The Council on International Veterinary Medical Education (CIVME) is an initiative of the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC), which is keen to promote and share best practices in veterinary medical education around the world. The council’s research grant program will provide a means for:
- Communication and collaboration that advances veterinary medical education around the world
- Collaboration amongst educational researchers
- Dissemination of innovations and other educational advances, to magnify the impact of projects by outreach to educators and their respective organizations
The CIVME Research Grant Program will support initiatives that align with (one of) the above mentioned goals. The applicant(s) must clearly and convincingly describe that the proposed project promotes international collaboration in veterinary medical education.
Proposals can be in one of two categories:
- Educational research projects
- Educational exchange projects
Total project budgets should not exceed $10,000 and are limited for a period of max. 24 months. Due to the size of the CIVME grants, indirect project costs are not considered.Preference will be given to applications that are collaborative efforts between institutions and across regions.
The 2021 grant cycle has closed and the 2022 cycle will open in fall of 2021. For more information please contact CIVME-grant@aavmc.org
