American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology - Faculty Innovation in Education Award

Grants will be awarded to up to two psychiatrists and up to two neurologists in support of education and/or evaluation projects that promote effective residency/fellowship training or lifelong learning for practicing psychiatrists and neurologists.

ABPN is particularly interested in innovative approaches to training program directors on how to implement clinical skills evaluations; innovative approaches to faculty development for conducting clinical skills evaluations; innovative approaches to the development and assessment of professional competence; strategies to promote lifelong learning; innovative curricula for continuing certification, including teaching about MOC in residency; strategies to promote public education about and input into board certification; and strategies to promote physician resilience and prevent burnout. Preference will be given to projects with potential use in more than one site and applicants at a junior or mid-faculty level.

Eligible applicants must be certified by ABPN; participate in its continuing certification program; hold an unrestricted license to practice medicine in a state, commonwealth, territory, or possession of the United States; comply with ABPN’s conflict-of-interest policies and procedures; and hold a faculty appointment in a psychiatry or neurology department (or its equivalent) in a U.S. LCME-accredited medical school.
