The Strategic Board for Education (UN) announces funds for educational development work for undergraduate or advanced level education at the Faculty of Medicine. 600 000 SEK has been allocated in the Board’s budget for this purpose during 2025. Apply no later than March 1.
It is possible to apply for funds for projects lasting up to two years. More extensive projects are prioritized. The project should start no later than 2025-09-01. If the project focuses on an educational program, the knowledge should be applicable/useful to other programs within the faculty. The project can also involve educational development work at the undergraduate and advanced levels without direct connection to a specific course or program (e.g., development of new teaching methods, examination forms, evaluation).
Projects aimed at contributing to the development of medical educational research are particularly prioritized. Furthermore, documented collaboration with multiple programs is advantageous. If the proposed project is a research project that may require ethical approval, this must be reported in the application.
The project report, including financial accounting, must be submitted to the Strategic Board of Education no later than three months after the project’s completion. Furthermore, the applicant is expected to present the project at one of the Board’s meeting and on the faculty’s internal website.
The application must include:
Information concerning the applicant
Project plan (including information concerning its purpose, research question, timetable)
Budget including university- and faculty-wide costs
Plan for evaluation or implementation of the project’s results
Signed approval from the Head of Department or equivalent
A signed original should be sent digitally to UN.medfak@umu.se, no later than 2025-03-01. Mark the e-mail in the subject line with "Educational development resource". Decisions concerning the grant will be made by the Strategic Board for Education, following a proposal by a review committee that has been appointed by the Board.
