Here are a few of the most recently funded initiatives:

Statewide TV Commercial, Promotion and Branded Content Interview Campaign

Focus Area: Exceptional Experience; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; Leadership
Pillars: People; Education; Discovery; Service and Community Engagement

The statewide TV commercial, promotion and branded content interview campaign request, submitted by Roderick L. Ingram Sr., vice president for communications and chief marketing officer, will build brand awareness for NEOMED across Ohio. Activating NEOMED’s position of Creating Transformational Leaders, the campaign will feature alumni, students, and the University’s dedication to developing health care professionals “for and from Ohio.”

Big Ideas Campaign

Focus Area: Exceptional Experience; Leadership
Pillars: People; Discovery; Service and Community Engagement; Growth

Submitted by Paris Bell, P2, Warren Lee, M2, Emily Marsico, M2, Arjun Pandya, M4, and Shareena Shaik, M3, the Big Ideas Campaign sets out to solicit ideas from NEOMED’s students who are dedicated to improving the University. Unlike traditional crowdsourcing, the ideas submitted through the Big Ideas Campaign will be “crowd endorsed” by student vote and the top five submissions will receive funding to turn their ideas into reality.

RFA Videos
