The Family Medicine Student Organization (FMSO) grant program from the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) is open and student family medicine interest groups (FMIGs) are eligible for two unique grant opportunities!

Core grant funds are to bolster FMIG’s everyday operations. Applications are reviewed on a monthly basis, which means that the sooner you apply, the quicker you can gain access to funds. The submission deadline is Sunday, March 31, 2024.

Student organizations can also secure up to $500 in special grant funding specifically designed to support projects that champion the specialty of family medicine. Projects are evaluated based on creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Special grant applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, with the first deadline approaching on Thursday, November 30. Subsequent deadlines are scheduled for Wednesday, January 31, 2024, and Sunday, March 31, 2024.

Approval from state AAFP chapters is a prerequisite for FMSO grant applications. When applications are submitted, state chapters will receive an email from the AAFP to sign off on the funds.
