Medical Student Organization Assistance Initiative
The Medical Student Organization Assistance Initiative will support medical student organizations in the form of individual awards up to $7,500 per organization. The initiative aligns with NBME's Learner Support strategy. This work specifically aligns with NBME’s vision of advancing the healthcare workforce through development of future healthcare leaders and also responds directly to needs expressed by the student community. Funds will support critical projects and/or events acknowledging organizational milestones such as significant anniversaries of student groups. Student organizations that are officially recognized by their institutions are eligible to apply.
Presentations are approved in two phases:
- Proposal / Abstract Approval (This Form) - This is the initial proposal, abstract, and/or related data used for submitting to conferences.
- Full Presentation Approval (Additional Form Sent Later) - This is the final version that you will be presenting, including any papers, slides, etc..
This form will be used for Presentation Proposal / Abstract Approvals. To upload your full presentation, an additional form will be sent to you to complete at your leisure. A notification will be sent 3 weeks prior to your conference date as a reminder to upload your materials if not already completed.
Proposal / Abstract Approval Timelines
Please budget about 2 weeks for the initial review process.
- VPs, Program Owners, and/or other reviewers complete their reviews within one week of assignment.
- The presentation is assigned to an SVP for final review and approval. The final review and approval is due within one week of assignment.
- The review decision is communicated to the submitter via email from submittable@nbme.org and will include any comments from the submission review process.
