The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Grants (SOTL) sponsored by the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) and the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education (AFPE), provide research funding for active members of AACP who are engaging in educational research. Each grant of up to $4000 maximum (no overhead allowed) will be awarded in July to be used the following school year. The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is a foundation of AACP's Strategic Priority #2. It is important to the future of the academy that faculty are engaged and creating new knowledge in this area in order to further advance the discipline of teaching and learning. The proposal must address an issue of Priority #2 of the strategic plan. Instructions for completing the application and a Frequently asked question document are provided below.
A principal investigator must be an active member of AACP (faculty or staff). In an effort to encourage interprofessional collaboration, AACP membership is not required for co-investigators included on SOTL grants.
This award is subject to the AACP Research Misconduct Policy.
The SOTL Grant program has been temporarily paused and will not be available for 2024-2025.
