Frequently-asked Questions
-
Does an organization have to be an accredited (CME/CE) provider to receive grant funding?
Grant requests for both accredited and non-accredited medical education are considered; however, a preference will be given to accredited educational activities. Please note that requests for non-accredited activities (CE and COPE accredited programs) will be accepted by the CE Provider or COPE Administrator/Medical Association/Medical Society. It is preferred that grant requests from a Teaching Institution (TI), be submitted from their Central CME Office.
-
What activities are considered for funding?
Grants are awarded to support medical education activities, scientific conferences, development of health care publications, and other legitimate educational and scientific activities. Grant proposals must identify specific activities, or a series of activities, that occur over a specified period of time for which funding is requested. Eligible grants may include:
- Live educational programs that are advertised and open to a broad audience. A broad audience is defined as one which extends beyond the employees of a single institution or practice group
- Educational publications and other types of enduring materials (eg, CD-ROM/DVD, printed material, online educational activities, etc) that are available to a broad audience beyond employees of the requesting institution
- Fellowships (Neurosciences only)
- Please note that all grant payments must be paid to the CME/CE Provider and NOT to the Educational Partner.
