SEED GRANTS EFPI operated a program of seed grants to promote research and scholarship into practice‐based education by CSU staff and promote applications for larger grants. In 2008 a) grants awarded to staff in 2007 were successfully implemented b) 2007 grantees presented the findings of their work at the CSUED 08 conference c) 2008 grants were awarded and work is currently underway on these projects. (See Appendix 4.) The program has been very successful in encouraging research related to practice‐based education and raising the profile of this field of education and scholarship across CSU. Several seed grant holders have returned to EFPI as Teaching Fellows and participants in Institute activities such as debates and working parties. ALTC CITATIONS In 2008 Professor Joy Higgs received an Australian Learning and Teaching Council Citation for: Two of our teaching fellows also received ALTC Citations: Brett Van Heekeren for outstanding contributions to student learning for sustained innovation and dedication to university teaching using situated learning strategies to enhance learning and produce significant graduate outcomes in radio and advertising. Deb Clarke for sustained enthusiasm and commitment to inspiring, influencing, and motivating tertiary students in a large range of subject, courses, modes and degree levels. CONSULTANCIES Two decades of exemplary contributions that blend personal and research capabilities development to postgraduate research training through supervision, mentoring, group learning and scholarship. EFPI has secured a number of consultancies connected with practice‐based education. DADHC (1) EFPI was awarded a grant by the Department of Ageing Disability and Home Care of New South Wales to examine state of the art literature on supervision and mentoring of early career health professionals, especially occupational therapists, speech pathologists and physiotherapists. GPLogic GPLogic is an organisation that conducts training positions for General Practitioner Registrars in rural settings. This project examined the relationship between GP registrars and their supervisors with the aim of developing a questionnaire that GPLogic could use to monitor the success of this training program. DADHC (2) This consultancy for DADHC evaluated an Action Learning project aimed to improve the skills of case managers. Faculty of Education The goal of this project was to research and design professional development resources for liaison staff who provide a link between the Faculty of Education at CSU and preservice teachers on teaching practice. 13
