Teaching Grant

To support teaching in endocrinology at all stages, supporting initiatives for both students and teachers.

Funding is available to support Society members with all aspects of teaching in endocrinology as well as initiatives to inspire the next generation. The scope for this grant is wide and the Society is particularly keen to receive applications for educational initiatives which can translate into a resource or model to be used by other members. A non-exclusive list of suggested uses for this grant include teaching resources, educational equipment, programme design [e.g. Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)], training in teaching tools (e.g. AI), student prizes, expenses to invite guest lecturers for undergraduate/postgraduate teaching programmes. This grant can also be used to support undergraduate Summer Studentships and for nurses to complete the SfE-Oxford Brookes Masters Module in Endocrine Nursing. If relevant, grant recipients will be asked to contribute to the teaching break-out session at SfE BES in the year following their award.
