ANNOUNCEMENT FOR

INNOVATION IN HEALTH SCIENCE EDUCATION AWARD

AND

HEALTH SCIENCE EDUCATION SMALL GRANTS PROGRAM

The UT Academy of Health Science Education through generous support from the University of Texas System offers the Innovation in Health Science Education Award and the Health Science Education Small Grants Program. The Innovation in Health Science Education Award recognizes an individual who has implemented an educational project or program in undergraduate or graduate education in all UT health science institutions with documentation of innovation and achievement in the last five years. The monetary awards are $7500 for first place, $5000 for second place and $2500 for third place. The Health Science Education Small Grants Program offers awards (up to $5000 per project) to faculty at all UT health science institutions who submit a written proposal and budget for a project that strives to improve health science education by innovative approaches. Projects that demonstrate a direct, measurable and positive impact on health science education will be most competitive for these awards. Attached are details to nominate a faculty member for the Innovation in Health Science Education Award and to apply for the Heath Science Education Small Grants Program. Further information can also be found on the UT Academy of Health Science Education website- http://utsystem.edu/academy/hse/

Deadlines for both nominations and applications will be August 1, 2007.

Scholars in Education Alumni

SCHOLARS IN EDUCATION UPDATE

Our most recent Scholars in Education program cohort graduated on April 10^th with the traditional Symposium. Dean Anderson made some closing remarks and we held the inaugural Gwendie Camp Scholars in Education Program Reunion: 1995-2007. We are now accepting applications for the next cohort of Scholars to begin this coming September – we’ve had a good response so far but still have a few “seats” available. If you know of a colleague who would benefit from participating in the program, please have them contact me as soon as possible – the updated Scholars brochure is attached.

On a quarterly basis, I will also provide this alumni group a listing of topics to be covered in the Scholar’s sessions. You are welcome to attend any of the sessions and we will save a seat at the table for you if you have an interest in the subject or would simply like a review of the topic – but only if you RSVP. We do need to know in advance who will be coming each evening. I will send out to you in September the topics to be covered during October, November and December (September is the first meeting with just the current cohort of Scholars).

Hope your summer is going well!

Sincerely,

Bob Bulik, Ph.D.
