Grant Writing & Mentorship in Education Research (GAMER) Workshop

Dates: January 22-24, 2026
Location: Charleston, South Carolina 

This highly-interactive 3-day workshop provides participants with the expertise and support to be successful at the national level in obtaining funding for physical therapy education research.   

We bring together a nationally-recognized group of mentors and consultants as faculty, including representatives from potential funding agencies, to support participants work. The workshop provides: 

  • Guidance in developing robust and theoretically grounded research agendas, research design and analysis (multiple methods),
  • Discussion and guidance in finding funding sources
  • Grant writing and budgeting
  • Creating intra- and inter-institutional collaborative research networks and projects.  

To provide these exceptional opportunities, attendance is targeted to be 16 participants. Participants need to have some experience with publishing in education research and already have ideas for grant applications.
