CAME Foundation Fundraising Match Opportunity 2024
We are happy to report that we were able to successfully match the $15,000.00 in funding that was offered by our anonymous donor. Thank you to everyone who donated, we truly appreciate your support. Special thanks to our anonymous donor who made this all possible. We are grateful for your generosity, support and belief in the work of the CAME Foundation and the importance of our National research grants.
CAME Foundation Donations
Donations to the CAME Foundation help support four national research grants. Opportunities for peer-reviewed grant support in health professions education are limited. Learners and faculty at all stages who have new projects can face challenges in obtaining support. The CAME Foundation Health Professions Education Grants support new and innovative scholarly projects in health professions education that are not part of larger, formalized, and funded education research programs.
Please donate to the CAME Foundation to support these grants and other Foundation activities.
