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.
Developing a cross-cultural DVD instructional module to address global reproductive health concerns Diane Morof, MD, Clinical Fellow in Family Planning/Clinical Instructor This project seeks to broaden the perspective of OB/GYN residents and students from UCSF and Tanzania by creating a DVD instructional module on 10 important causes of global reproductive health morbidity and mortality. The series will provide an opportunity for students and residents to work on international cucciculum reform. A Web-Based Approach to the Orientation and Systems-Based Practice for Inpatient Internal Medicine Resident Rotations Steven Stoltz, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine Internal medicine residents have multiple rotations on inpatient medicine during their training, rotations often with different faculty and at different hospitals. In order to ensure quality and standardization to the orientation for inpatient medicine, we propose to create a web-based approach for all first-year residents with emphasis on systems-based practice. An Inter-residency Global Health Scholars Curriculum, Web-based Case Component Chris Stewart, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor This is a proposal for funds to provide student stipends to assist in the development of a series of web-based cases that will be part of an Inter-residency Global Health Education Curriculum. After an initial month of intensive group learning, these web-based cases will use web technology to allow important additional topics to be covered in the curriculum. The cases will also serve to create a web-based community for the resident participants in our program during their busy and varied schedules throughout the year. 3-D rendered database of Operative Dentistry Preparations for the Tooth Atlas teaching module Samuel T. Huang, DDS, Assistant Clinical Professor We propose the creation of 3-D rendered images of our new minimally invasive cavity preparation designs in a fully articulated natural tooth model. In conjunction with our preclinical video simulators, this data would be incorporated into the existing 3-D Tooth Atlas CD and used as a teaching tool. Response Pad Technology: Promoting Learning through Technological Interaction Nancy Nkansah, PharmD, Assistant Professor of Clinical Pharmacy; Betty-ann Hoener, PhD, Professor of Biopharmaceutical Sciences; Mike Winter, PhD., Professor of Clinical Pharmacy Pharmacokinetics is an abstract, mathematically intensive course in which students benefit from frequent feedback. Multiple interactive methodologies havwe been successfully utilized to facilitate such learning, but are still sub-optimal. This project will integrate and evaluate response pad technology as a method to promote active learning. MRI/MRS Simulation for Teaching and Research Patrick Goodwill, Graduate Student Students better understand MRI/MRS when they can play with variables, implement pulse sequences, and reconstruct MRI/MRS data. We propose to build a simulator and supporting curriculum emphasizing high-field MR Imagine and MR Engineering useful to both medical students and engineers. Cultural Competency in Pediatric Palliative Care: a video learning module for health care providers Heather Briscoe, MD, Medical Student Health care providers caring for chronically ill or dying children are frequently involved in difficult conversations that may be hindered by lack of familiarity with the family's cultural belief system. We propose to develop video-based teaching modules to enhance our curriculum and facilitate interdisciplinary cultural competence in Pediatric Palliative Care. A web based electrocardiographic training and evaluation program Sundararajan Srikanth, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor Electrocardiography is an important skill for medical professionals. The resources to develop and maintain this skill are limited. There are many web sites, showcasing electrocardiograms of interest. These resources are difficult to maintain and update, and lack systemic instruction. We intend to develop a web-based tutorial that overcomes these obstacles.
