The Art of the Possible (AOP) Education Scholarship Grant Program, offered by the Office of Education Scholarship (OES), provides seed grants to support education scholarship projects that will benefit one of the DFCM programs or divisions (Undergraduate Education, Postgraduate Education, Graduate Studies, Faculty Development, Quality Improvement, Global Health, Emergency Medicine, Palliative Care, Care of the Elderly, Mental Health & Addiction, Clinical Public Health, Hospital Medicine).
This is an ideal opportunity for faculty members who are new to education scholarship. This program is designed to support applicants from idea to dissemination, providing consultations, faculty development events, and application writing support. This program requires program director/division head approval before applications are moved forward for adjudication. These two-year grants can provide up to $5,000 per project.
The OES is here to help you with your AOP application. We can provide consultations as you formulate your idea, or at any stage of the process. If you are thinking about applying, request a virtual chat to help you get started, or a more in-depth consultation.
If you have questions about the application process, please contact the OES at dfcm.edscholarship@utoronto.ca.

If you have applied for research ethics approval through your hospital research ethics board, you may be required to complete a data transfer agreement before your research assistant can begin work. This will depend on your hospital’s policies, and how your RA was hired. Please check with your hospital research ethics board to learn how their policies may affect your project. For ease of access of funds, it is recommended that you administer the grant, including primary research ethics approval, research assistant hiring, and other expenses/activities, through the University of Toronto. You may still require additional ethics approval from your local site but the primary approver is recommended to be the University of Toronto Research Ethics Board.
