Instructional Grants Program - Funded Proposals
The Instructional Grants Program awards grants to fund innovative projects to improve teaching and learning at UCSF. The program combines the Instructional Improvement Projects (IIP) grants and the Instructional Technology Development (ITD) grants to fund a wide range of projects in all aspects of education.
Multimedia Education Modules for the Diagnosis and Classification of Periodontal Diseases Peter M. Loomer, BSc, DDS, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Clinical Periodontology; Gwen Essex, MSc, RDH, Assistant Clinical Professor The aim of this project is to develop a series of multimedia presented patient-based cases illustrating the concepts behind the new classification of periodontal diseases. Each clinical faculty member and student will receive on DVD/web patient case modules for each periodontal disease type commonly encountered in our predoctoral clinics. Preparing Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Fellows for Academic Careers in Teaching Cynthia Furhmann, Theresa O'Brien, Chantilly Munson, Graduate Students, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics; Tiffany Martin, Graduate Student, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences; Shannon Stroschein, Ph.D., Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences; Rebecca Smith, Ph.D., Academic Coordinator, Science and Health Education Partnership, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics; Bill Lindstaedt, Academic Coordinator, Science and Health Education Partnership; Maureen Conway, Director, Student Activities Center; Tracy Boswell Fulton, Ph.D., Assistant Adjunct Professor, Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics The purpose of this project is to develop a Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) curriculum at UCSF, with a long-term goal of expanding it to an annual nine-month program. The initial summer series and quarterly seminars will enhance participants's knowledge of teaching and learning styles, and provide them with the tools necessary to competitively approach the academic job market. Teaching the Chronic Care Model: Developing a Formal Web-based Interdisciplinary Curriculum for Medical Residents, Nurse Practitioner Students, and Pharmacy Students Cindy Lai, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine This project will develop a standardized web-based curriculum that will facilitate training of medicine residents, nurse practitioner students, and pharmacy students in chronic illness management using diabetes mellitus as the "model" illness. Through this chronic care curriculum, trainees will learn quality improvement techniques, evidence-based diabetes management, and interdisciplinary team care. The Musculoskeletal Exam: An Instructional Tutorial Renee Modica, M.D., Fellow, Pediatric Rheumatology Musculoskeletal complaints are common in the pediatric setting, Unfortunately, many musculoskeletal disorders are unrecognized because general practitioners are often poorly trained in performing the musculoskeletal exam. This project will create an instructional musculoskeletal tutorial to enhance the acquisition of musculoskeletal examination skills and knowledge in pediatric patients for beginner learners. Beyond the Differential Diagnosis: The Vulnerable Populations Curriculum Michelle Schneidermann, M.D., Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, Department of Medicine, Division of General Internal Medicine The year-long Vulnerable Populations Curriculum will teach trainees on the SFGH medicine service about implications of vulnerabilities on health care outcomes, development of collaborative teamwork skills, and utilization of community resources. Educational objectives will be met through a series of interactive lectures/discussions and use of a web-based resource center. Electronic and Web-Based Drug Information Resources for Graduate Students in the Biomedical Sciences Kerry Schwarz, Pharm.D., Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Clinical Pharmacy A multitude of electronic drug information resources exist for the researcher, clinician, and patient, all providing various types of information designed for a wide range of audiences. This course will enable the student to select the appropriate resource for the type of information needed and the audience for it was intended. Taught in the School of Pharmacy's Information Resource Center, this will be an interactive, computer-based course for graduate and professional students in the biomedical sciences. Addressing Current Regulatory Changes for Prescribing Schedule II Controlled Substances: A web-based course for UCSF School of Nursing and Medical Center Nurse Practitioners and Nurse Midwives Students, Faculty and Clinical Preceptors JoAnne M. Saxe, RN, MS, ANP, Clinical Professor; Naomi Schapiro, RN, MS, PNP, Assistant Clinical Professor; Rosemary Plank, RN, Ph.D., Academic Coordinator; Lynda Mackin, RN, MS, ANP, Associate Clinical Professor; Jill Howie, RN, MS, FNP, Associate Clinical Professor; Ellen Scarr, RN, MS, FNP, Associate Clinical Professor; and Linda Ennis, RN, MS, CNM, Assistant Clinical Professor; School of Nursing In California, traditional registered nursing roles have gradually expanded since the 1970s. Since the 1990s, a series of laws have been passed allowing nurse practitioners (NP) and certified nurse midwives (CNM) to expand their practice privileges in the area of prescriptive authority to include writing transmittal orders in a wide variety of health care settings, and to order/furnish scheduled controlled substances III-IV. Recent laws now permit CNMs and NPs, to order Schedule II controlled substances. This web-based pharmacology course on Schedule II controlled substances will ensure compliance with California Board of Registered Nursing requirements for formal course instruction.
