The Society of Directors of Research in Medical Education (SDRME) is issuing a call for review paper-proposals. SDRME is interested in review proposals that will make a substantial contribution to advancing practice, theory, or research in medical education. We welcome a variety of review methods for identifying and synthesizing relevant published literature, including (but not limited to) critical, conceptual, scoping, realist and systematic reviews. Reviews are expected to be completed within two years from the time grant monies are first received. Up to $5000 in funding will be awarded to the first author. Travel expenses to attend the SDRME meeting to present the completed research will also be awarded ($2000 in addition to the grant award).
