The Brick Builder Grant is Back for 2025!
๐ What is the Brick Builder Grant?
Now in its fourth year, the Brick Builder Grant is a $25,000 initiative from ScholarRx designed to empower medical and health sciences students and educators to co-create free, shareable digital learning modules, known as Bricks. These interactive modules are built using the Rx Bricks Create platform and are meant to support medical learners worldwide with high-quality, open-access educational content.
Up to 50 applicants will be selected through a competitive process to receive:
โ $500 in funding
โ Free access to the ScholarRx curriculum authoring platform and the Rx Bricks digital library
โ Training and support to create open education resources
โBricksโ are multimedia-rich, concise, and interactive modules that help learners understand complex topics through active engagement and storytelling.
๐ Why Should You Apply?
This grant is more than funding, it's a platform to contribute meaningfully to global health education. ScholarRx encourages submissions on topics not currently covered in Rx Bricks or those not well addressed in existing medical curricula โ think climate health, health equity, AI in medicine, or community-based care.
All Bricks developed through this grant will be open-access, giving them the potential to be used by thousands of learners across borders and disciplines.
Whether you're a faculty member with an innovative teaching idea or a student with a fresh perspective and a faculty mentor, this is your chance to leave your mark.
๐ How Are Applications Evaluated?
Proposals will be reviewed based on:
-
Relevance & Need: Does the topic address a gap in current medical education?
-
Quality, Feasibility & Innovation: Is the plan clear, achievable, and creative?
-
Implementation & Dissemination: Can the Brick be used effectively in education and shared widely?
-
Applicant Qualifications: Does the applicant/team have the background to carry the project through?
* Student applicants must include a faculty mentor as part of their application.
