Join the Dr. Jeffery Hicks, DDS and ADEA Faculty Engagement Team for a practical session on transforming educational innovations into competitive grant proposals. Participants will explore core strategies drawn from the new ADEA Academic Impact Lab—focusing on scoping project ideas, aligning with funders, and structuring strong proposal components. A hands-on mini-workshop guides attendees in drafting a project concept statement and receiving brief peer feedback. Faculty will leave with actionable tools, a clear starting point for proposal development, and next steps for strengthening their scholarly trajectory in dental and allied dental education.
Learning Objectives:
Draft a concise project concept statement that articulates a clear problem, purpose, and expected outcomes.
Identify appropriate funding sources by aligning project ideas with common sponsor priorities.
Apply a basic planning framework to organize proposal development tasks and early writing milestones.
