Greetings. I'm sending this a day early as many people are off on Friday. I hope you're having a wonderful Holiday Season. There will be no Faculty Focus Update next week. I'll send the next issue on January 5, 2024. This issue will contain only the Announcements and Events sections, given the holiday.

All Faculty Focus Newsletter and Update issues are available from the Faculty Focus Archive.

I thank all who help with content curation and those who have shared items with me for distribution.

Thank you, Steve

    • From announcement: “The AOA is pleased to announce that the 2024 research grant application cycle is now open. Research funding is available to DO, MD, and PhD researchers conducting studies that address one of four Request for Applications (RFAs) in three overall areas of foci approved by the AOA Board of Trustees. The AOA will support the development of research projects grounded in osteopathic medicine that have the most promising potential to impact individual patient outcomes and evidence-based medicine, facilitate collaboration within and outside the osteopathic community, and enhance the visibility of the osteopathic profession.”
      More information and to submit
  • American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM)
    Competitive Grant Program
    Due: 1/31/24
    • From announcement: "AACOM's Grants Program includes awards for medical education research and institutional research. Institutional research is a broad category of work done at colleges (and across colleges within a profession) to inform decision-making and planning. While collaborative, multi-institution research studies are desirable, the grant could support a pilot study or serve as the basis for seeking matching funds at individual institutions. Proposals pertaining to technology or artificial intelligence (AI) are of importance this year. Additionally, topics related to workforce issues—such as the implications of the expansion of osteopathic medical colleges, branch campuses, additional teaching sites, and class sizes—are of continued interest."
      More information and to submit
