The MAFP Foundation—the philanthropic arm of your Academy that supports the advancement of Family Medicine in Michigan in the areas of student and resident interest, professional development, continuing medical education, research and public health—invites Family Medicine Interest Groups (FMIGs) in Michigan to apply for grant funding for the upcoming academic year. This funding is intended to support your FMIG's activities and efforts to increase student interest in Family Medicine in Michigan.
