The Center for Interprofessional Education at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) is pleased to announce seed grant funding opportunities.  Applications for interprofessional grant projects are encouraged. Suggested themes include, but are not limited to, health equity, health literacy, simulation-based IPE and clinical-based IPE. 

• Proposals should be practice- or classroom-focused, with educational and evaluative components employing the IPEC Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice. 
• Grant funds, up to $15,000 may be used toward salary/ benefit support or stipend, assuming approval from the individual’s supervisor in their primary UMB School.

The following definitions of interprofessional education and interprofessional care should be used when developing proposals:

Interprofessional education (IPE): “When students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes.” (World Health Organization, 2010)

Interprofessional team-based care (IPC): Care delivered by intentionally created, usually relatively small, work groups in health care, who are recognized by others as well as by themselves as having a collective identity and shared responsibility for a patient or group of patients.
