Internal Funding Requests

The Department of Pediatrics has established an internal process to fund small projects on an ad-hoc basis.  

Internal Funding Application and Reporting

Internal funding requests are for all project types. Priority will be given to projects that align with the Department's strategic priorities and projects that are not eligible for external funding. Requests for bridge and matching funds may also be considered. 

Review the internal funding process diagram below to understand the application, review and reporting process. 

The application requires a brief project summary and budget. Please review the budget item eligibility before submitting.  

An annual report is requested from those who have received internal funds.

The following are examples of projects and initiatives that have received support through the internal funding process: 

  • Matching funds for external grant applications
  • Resident/trainee led small projects 
  • Pilot data or metrics collection for future grant applications
  • Short-term bridge funding 
  • Quality improvement projects and process evaluations
  • Projects or programs that support Department member wellness
  • Conferences, workshops, or other events hosted by Department sections or groups
