Geisel Academy of Educators & Scholars - Foundational Skills Series for Educational Research – Show me the Money, Gimme a Green Light: Grant Proposals and IRB With Some Help from AI

Wednesday, April 1, 2026, 4:00 PM - Sunday, April 1, 2029, 5:00 PM

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (1.00 hours), ACPE Contact Hours (1.00 hours), ANCC Nursing Contact Hours (1.00 hours), CDR Dietetic CPEU(s) (1.00 hours), CME-Designated Participation Credit (1.00 hours)

This capstone session addresses two critical aspects of launching education research: securing funding and obtaining IRB approval. Participants will learn the key elements of successful grant proposals, significance, innovation, and approach/design, and discover funding sources for health professions education research. The session provides practical strategies for navigating the IRB process more efficiently. Importantly, participants will explore how AI tools can assist with grant writing and IRB applications. The program allows participants to outline either a grant proposal or an IRB application for their research project.

1. Describe the key elements of a successful grant proposal: significance, innovation, and approach/design.
2. Locate health professions education grants that may be applicable to their research.
3. Identify two strategies for making the IRB process smoother.
