The Center for Interprofessional Education at the Íøºì±¬ÁÏ, 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.
