RISE (Research. Innovation. Scholarship. Education) is now accepting applications for the Innovator Development Program, a 12-month program that supports faculty, staff and learners in developing and piloting innovative approaches to health sciences education.

Participants receive mentorship, join a collaborative community of education innovators, and may apply for project funding and protected time to support their work. RISE is particularly interested in ideas that have the potential to improve teaching and learning, scale across settings or learners, and ultimately strengthen health care practice.

Applications are open to all Michigan Medicine faculty, staff and learners. The application deadline is 5 p.m. May 15.

RISE will host a virtual information session at 4 p.m. April 15, along with optional 15-minute consultations for prospective applicants. Learn more and apply online at michmed.org/RBN2b.
