Grant writing & mentoring in education research (GAMER) workshop

Dates: November 17-20, 2022
Location: Charleston, South Carolina

This highly-interactive 4-day workshop provides participants with the expertise and support to be successful at the national level in obtaining funding for physical therapy education research.

We bring together a nationally-recognized group of mentors and consultants as faculty, including representatives from potential funding agencies, to support participants work. The workshop provides:

Guidance in developing robust and theoretically grounded research agendas, research design and analysis (multiple methods),
Discussion and guidance in finding funding sources
Grant writing and budgeting
Creating intra- and inter-institutional collaborative research networks and projects.

To provide these exceptional opportunities, attendance is targeted to be 16 participants. Participants need to have some experience with publishing in education research and already have ideas for grant applications.

The 2022 GAMER workshop applications will open May 1, 2022 and close July 10, 2022.

Once participants are identified, they will be paired with mentors with education research experience and expertise. Engagement of mentors and participants will occur prior to, during, and following the workshop to develop sound education research proposals that maximize chances for successful funding and publication.

The ultimate aim is to create and expand a network of highly-qualified and productive education researchers who will advance the science of physical therapist education, make significant contributions to the literature, and ultimately enhance physical therapy education and practice today and in the future.
