Clinical Educator Grant Program | South Central MIRECC

About the CEG Program

The request for applications for the FY25 Clinical Educator Grant (CEG) Program is now open.

The CEG program is an opportunity for clinicians and researchers at VA medical centers (VAMCs) and community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) to develop educational products that address clinical gaps to improve mental health care for rural and underserved Veterans.

All products are developed to be freely accessible in the public domain. Products must be designed to allow for wide dissemination and be easily used by clinicians or Veterans.

Projects must support the SC MIRECC mission or commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion to improve mental health care for rural and other underserved Veterans. Projects tailored to rural populations should be applicable to CBOC or rural community settings. All products should include consideration about diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Grant awards may be for up to $5,000. Multi-site collaborative projects at facilities in VISNs 16 and/or 17 may be eligible for a grant up to $10,000.

In addition, the SC MIRECC occasionally funds off-cycle applications. Please contact Dr. Jennifer Bryan at Jennifer.Bryan1@va.gov or Dr. Ali Abbas Asghar-Ali at Ali.Asghar-Ali@va.gov / asgharal@bcm.edu if you have an inquiry about an off-cycle application.

Eligibility

  • Mental health clinicians, researchers, and educators in VISN 16 and VISN 17.
    • For those collaborating with staff outside of VISN 16 or VISN 17, the principal applicant must be a VISN 16 or VISN 17 staff member.
  • Trainees may apply but must identify a permanent VA mental health professional as a Co-PI applicant. The permanent VISN 16 or VISN 17 VA mental health professional will be responsible for completing the product if it has not been completed before the end of the trainee’s tenure at VA.
  • Veteran or non-VA community members can be co-applicants, but not principal applicants.
  • Awardees will be designated as SC MIRECC Affiliate Investigators during their project.
