    FAQ: How many applications can I submit?

    Each state is limited to submitting a total of three (3) grant applications per year, but only one (1) application per project. Applications can be submitted by the Chapter, Chapter Foundation, or a combination of the Chapter and/or Foundation.

    FAQ: Do you accept requests for continued funding for same/similar projects?

    Projects that have received FMPC funding within the past three funding cycles must show, in the application, that the project has been expanded or be enhanced in some way to justify continued FMPC grant consideration. There is no limit on the number of times that a grant project can receive funding from the FMPC.

Each application is scored by four reviewers, including one physician reviewer, and the final score is the average of the four reviewers’ scores.
