The Office of Professional and Educational Development (OPED) is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the Medical Education Research Fund (MERF) for Scholarly Projects in Medical Education.

It includes a broad range of didactical frameworks, theories, and research methodologies. The field characterizes itself with a close collaboration among medical educators, educationalists, behavioral scientists and technicians. Research programs in the field typically focus on addressing contemporary issues and questions in medical education, and on designing, evaluating, and supporting curricular innovations.
