title: Finding support for educational projects in anatomy: tips, tools, and lessons learned.
abstract: This article is based on a presentation of the same name given on 20 April 2004 at a symposium entitled "Faculty Development: Funding Resources for Education Projects" at the annual meeting of the American Association of Anatomists in Washington, DC. It discusses various lessons learned by the authors from their own work on the development of an educational tool and the assessment of its use with funding from an educational research grant, as well as tips and tools gathered from other education researchers. The material is organized into two sections. The first provides information and suggestions useful in the development of an educational project in anatomy and the preparation of the grant application. The second consists of insights that may help ensure that the funded grant is successful.
