NAPCRG

Special Interest Groups

Groups of NAPCRG members with similar interests come together at Annual Meetings and communicate throughout the year to share experiences, resources, and plans. To begin a new Special Interest Group, contact jjones@stfm.org with the name, university, and e-mail address of the SIG chair and the title of the SIG. New SIGs may also be featured in future issues of the NAPCRG Newsletter, so new SIG chairs may provide NAPCRG with a brief description of the goals and focus of their new group.

To foster growth, NAPCRG created an Innovation Fund for requests of up to $2,000 to support groups (of at least three NAPCRG members) with an innovative idea for a collaborative project. SIGs are welcome to apply for this fund. For more information, click here.
