Current Grants and Funding

• National Science Foundation IIS-0537252 (Grimm) Exploiting the Edge: A Web-Based Content Management and Delivery System to Enable Rigorous Assessment of the Impact of a Rich Media Educational Intervention on Clinical Competence This investigation, in collaboration with the School of Computer Science, is funded by the National Science Foundation to develop new tools and new assessment techniques for multimedia teaching applications. This project also proposes to build a technical infrastructure for dissemination of content globally using a trusted network.
  
  



• National Library of Medicine G08 LM008806-01 (Levin) NYU Medical Center Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems (IAIMS) The specific aims of this NLM grant are to: 1) Create a key set of opinion leaders in research, education, patient care, and administration; 2) Develop an educational culture that is multi-disciplinary-team-based and patient-centered; 3) Extend our existing digital library program components to maximize interoperability and integration; 4) Develop a plan for a continuous assessment process that will ensure the appropriateness of the tools and content and demonstrate the impact on the NYUMC community of this learning system.



• National Science Foundation ESI-0525171 (Brownstein) Physical Computing for Students and Teachers Funded by the National Science Foundation's, Information Technology Experiences for Students program, this project implements a curriculum in physical computer with a group of underserved students in New York City.
  



• CDC/AAMC (Blaser) Psychosocial Aspects of Bioterrorism: Education for Readiness and Response. This project, funded by the CDC, is developing, implementing, and evaluating an innovative, modular CME program for physicians and other health professionals to address the need for training in critical competencies in respect to bioterrorism response: the care of individual patients, the care of self and colleagues, and the role of the physician as a community leader, especially in respect to risk communication.
