Each year, INSPIRE gives out funding opportunities for investigators in pediatric simulation-based research.
INSPIRE accepts applications for the Micro-Awards year round. If you are interested in submitting a proposal for the micro-awards, please check out the information below. When you are ready, please submit all required documents to info@inspiresim.org.
The submission portal for all other INSPIRE Funding Awards has now closed. Please check back in June 2025 for information about the next round of funding awards.
The International Network for Simulation-based Pediatric Innovation, Research and Education was established in 2011 from a group of simulation-based pediatric researchers from a variety of disciplines looking to improve collaboration, mentorship, and productivity. Our mission is to improve the lives of children through healthcare simulation science.
INSPIRE is united in its desire to improve performance, foster innovation, and reduce errors in patient care via rigorous pediatric simulation-based research using all types of simulation tools (computer screen-based simulators, task trainers, human patient simulators, virtual reality, hybrid devices, and standardized patients).
INSPIRE is seeking studies that are both innovative and have strong potential for a positive impact on healthcare delivery.
INSPIRE Micro-Awards:
INSPIRE is offering small project micro-awards for INSPIRE investigators with ongoing projects that require some additional funding for discrete, well-defined needs to complete the project. Awards will be given for up to $2,000 each. INSPIRE Micro-award RFP INSPIRE Micro-Awards are accepted throughout the year. Please submit all micro-award proposals to info@inspiresim.org.
