Thirteen constituent chapters receive grants totaling $17,000
Thirteen constituent chapters recently received more than $17,000 in grants to support research activities, Charles E. Driscoll, M.D., of Iowa City, Iowa, chair of the AAFP Commission on Clinical Policies and Research, recently announced.
Funding requests from the chapters exceeded the available funds, and the commission had to apportion funding among those that received favorable review.
California, Connecticut, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Wisconsin received funding through the Matching Grants for Constituent Chapter Research Activities program. Applications are considered at the January and May commission meetings. This is the 10th year that the program has offered $25,000 annually in matching grants to stimulate research activities at the chapter level.
The next deadline for submissions is April 28, 1998. For more information, contact your constituent chapter or the AAFP Scientific Activities Division, (800) 274-2237, Ext. 5562.
The application is also available at http://www.aafp.org/members/research/matchapp.html at AAFP's site on the World Wide Web.
