ICVA Assessment Grant Program – Now OPEN
The ICVA grant program, overseen by the ICVA Academic Veterinary Assessment Committee (AVAC) on behalf of the ICVA Board of Directors, is pleased to announce the 2024 grant program with up to three grant award opportunities of $10,000 USD.
The purpose of an ICVA assessment grant is to validate current, discover new, implement and support best practices in assessment in veterinary medical education. This includes assessment of students, instructors, and programs.
The primary research aims, or questions, must concern educational assessment or measurement issues and does not include technology development, teacher training, and course development. Proposals that demonstrate capacity in advancing knowledge of assessment practices/methods (spanning admissions to continuing veterinary medical education) will be given priority.
Faculty from AVMA-accredited veterinary schools are encouraged to apply for educational grants focusing on student assessment and feedback. For more information on the program and past winners visit our Assessment Grant Program page.
If you have questions regarding the grant program or to confirm if your project meets the scope of this call, please contact Dr. Kent Hecker.
