Grants

Professional Medical Education Grants provide funding for independent medical educational programs for health care professionals, including congresses, conferences, symposiums, or courses, with or without labs, that are sponsored by professional medical associations, societies, or continuing education providers and academic institution labs. This includes support requested for cadaveric labs intended to educate fellows or residents at an academic institution.

Acumed does not provide grants to individual health care professionals (HCPs) or to HCPs in training and does not provide grants that are earmarked for the benefit of individual HCPs or HCPs in training.  Accordingly, Acumed will not consider grant requests earmarked for individual HCPs or HCPs in training.

Submission deadline: To be considered, the completed application, including all required supporting documentation, must be received at least 60 days before the scheduled date of the event, activity, or program. If you have any questions, please contact grants@acumed.net.

To apply: Acumed uses an online submission process to objectively evaluate each grant application we receive. Please be prepared to upload the following required documents:

• Letter of request
• Official agenda
• Estimated total budget for the program, activity, or event
• W-9 Form

Fellowship grants are available to accredited academic programs. Fellowship Grants support clinical fellowship programs and may be used to subsidize a clinical fellow. Programs can request preapproval of other direct educational expenses at grants@acumed.net if subsidizing a clinical fellow is not possible. Acumed’s intent is to encourage the highest quality academic programs to best advance the medical profession. Applications are reviewed against established objective criteria and not on the use, order, or purchase of any products or services of Acumed. Grant recipient institutions must represent and warrant that the receipt of funds will not affect professional judgment. To manage our budget and to ensure Acumed can fund as many worthwhile programs as possible, we limit the awarding of Fellowship Grants to once per calendar year.

Submission deadline: To be considered, the completed application, including all required documentation, must be submitted by May 1^st. Applications submitted after the May 1^st deadline will be held for the following year’s review cycle. Applicants will receive grant notifications by June 30^th. If you have any questions, please contact grants@acumed.net.
