Seed Grant Applications to Support Palliative Care Education and Research Now Closed
The California State University Institute for Palliative Care has now completed the application round for 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 is offered in conjunction with the theme of the National Symposium on Academic Palliative Care Education and Research, Quality in Palliative Care: Fusing Education, Research and Practice, being held in San Diego, CA, Oct. 11-12, 2018.
Multiple grants of $5,000 or $10,000 will be awarded at our 2018 National Symposium, October 11-12, 2018, in San Diego.
The Institute particularly encouraged proposals for innovative educational and/or research projects which would expand current or future workforce knowledge leading to improved care or enhanced quality of life for seriously or chronically ill seniors and/or seniors’ family caregivers.
Support for Seed Grant Funding is made possible by the Gary and Mary West Foundation.
