Seed Grants Support Palliative Care Education and Research
For the past three years, the California State University Institute for Palliative Care has had the privilege of awarding seed grant funding to support projects that advance palliative care education and research with a focus on seniors or family caregivers of seniors.
The funding has been offered in conjunction with the Institute’s National Symposium on Academic Palliative Care Education and Research, held annually in San Diego, CA.
Support for Seed Grant Funding is made possible by the Gary and Mary West Foundation.
Multiple grants of roughly $10,000 were awarded at the 2018 Symposium for proposals that ranged from “Narrative Medicine and Advance Care Planning” to “Palliative Care Knowledge, Attitudes, and Needs Among Caregivers of Cognitively Impaired Older Adults.” Seed grant recipients will report on their work during an awards luncheon on Oct. 12 at the 2019 Symposium.

Researchers who received 2017 seed grants were invited to share the results of their work at the 2018 Symposium. The projects ranged from exploring “Palliative Care Within the Latino Community” to “Enhancing Palliative Care Knowledge through a National Lifelong Learning Network.”
The 2017 recipients included Than Neville, MD, MSHS, a board-certified pulmonary and critical care physician and researcher in the intensive care unit at UCLA Medical Center, whose project was setting up a “3 Wishes” program in the hospital’s ICU. Dr. Neville shared additional insights about her experience reaching patients and families with the 3 Wishes program here.
