ASPE Research and Project AwardsEvery year ASPE provides incentive grants to members who propose unique research or development projects related to the use of standardized patients. Awards of up to $10,000.00 US are announced at the Annual Conference. Past recipients have been honored with awards for research validating communications skills instruments, studying patient satisfaction data, validating training techniques in feedback and role portrayal, evaluating stealth SP projects, studying SP recruiting and retention. Thanks to these awards, recipients have also developed tools for the SP educator such as a compendium of social histories and a web text of special effects simulation, both of which SP educators can use as they develop cases. The overall goal of ASPE Research/Projects Awards is to provide incentive grants to current ASPE members for unique research or development projects related to the use of Standardized Patients in the Health Sciences. Studies to identify best practices in SP methodology are particularly encouraged. Requests for Proposals are sent to the membership annually and awards are made at the Annual Conference. 2023 ASPE Research & Project AwardsThe Overall Goal of ASPE Awards:The overall goal is to provide incentive awards to current ASPE members for unique research studies or development projects that extend our knowledge about live human simulation-based education as an educational methodology. All studies/projects must be consistent with ASPE’s mission and goals. Studies to identify best practices in SP education, novel SP use, or advances in methodology, are particularly encouraged. All proposals should adhere to the Standards of Best Practice, which was recently published. Awards and Funding: Research Award - our primary award, up to $8,000 per award Pilot Award – established in 2017 to encourage innovative projects, up to $2,000 per award - the most significant difference between Research Awards and Pilot Awards is the scope of impact, as well as cost.
