The goal of the Stemmler Grants Program is to provide support for research on, and development of, innovative assessment approaches that will enhance the professional development of those preparing to, or continuing to, practice medicine.
The Stemmler Grants External Reviewers, with support from the unit in charge of the Stemmler Grant program, are responsible for reading, scoring, and providing feedback on the grant applications each cycle. These reviewers are a critical part of the grant cycle and provide support to the Stemmler Grants Committee during their review process and funding meetings.
