Good Shepherd Innovation Grant Guidelines

The Good Shepherd Innovation Grants support employee-led ideas to advance rehabilitation science, education and practice through curiosity and innovation. This funding opportunity aims to facilitate innovation and sustained collaboration among diverse teams who strive to improve the lives of people with disability and recovering from injury or illness across the care continuum.

Good Shepherd Innovation Grants are sponsored by the Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network Endowment Fund. The grants reflect the commitment of Good Shepherd Rehabilitation (GSR) and Good Shepherd Penn Partners (GSPP) to improve the patient experience and to advance patient outcomes with evidence-based innovation. These grants are co-administered by representatives from GSR and GSPP. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis selected by an interdisciplinary panel of representatives from both organizations.
