2026 Intealth® Well-being Grant Opportunity
Projects Supporting IMG Physician Wellness
Submission deadline: September 7, 2026
Award period: October 19, 2026 – June 7, 2027
Intealth seeks proposals for projects led by IMG physician residents and faculty members that aim to improve the well-being of IMG physicians training in U.S. GME programs. Three 2026 grants will be awarded up to a maximum of US$5,000 per project. The funds awarded through these grants must be used to facilitate the proposed initiatives and/or programs.
The aim of Intealth’s Well-being Grant Opportunity is to support physician-led initiatives that have the potential to:
Reduce modifiable drivers of distress.
Increase access to culturally responsive support.
Strengthen program‑level infrastructure in ways that improve learner well‑being.
Create replicable, low‑resource interventions that programs can adopt quickly.
Before You Apply: Confirm You’re Eligible
We encourage you to carefully review the information below before preparing and submitting a proposal. This section is intended to help you determine if this opportunity is right for you.
To be eligible for this opportunity, you must be:
An IMG resident as of August 3, 2026, who will remain in U.S. graduate medical education (GME) training through at least June 7, 2027; or

All project proposals must also meet the following criteria:
An institutional mentor must be identified at your training institution to serve as a project advisor and help facilitate the award process if selected.
Faculty applicants may choose to fill this role themselves or may identify a senior colleague to serve as the institutional mentor.
All project activities must occur within the award period: October 19, 2026 – June 7, 2027. While long-term impact is encouraged, all proposed work should be planned and completed during this timeframe.
