Deadline for diversity, equity, and inclusion training grant proposals is Dec. 10
ACP and other sponsors are seeking proposals that address the relationship between trust and issues of bias and diversity at the patient/physician, team, and health system levels.
ACP recently joined the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), the ABIM Foundation, and the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation in announcing a new grant program for internal medicine residents and faculty members. The program will support projects designed to promote trust and create a more equitable health system by incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion into the fabric of internal medicine education and training.
The sponsors are seeking proposals that address the relationship between trust and issues of bias and diversity at the patient/physician, team, and health system levels, including innovations in medical training, quality improvement projects, and approaches to improve partnerships between health systems and communities. Letters of intent are due on Dec. 10, and selected applicants will be invited to submit full proposals early next year. Grants will be awarded in spring 2021. The sponsors are devoting a total of $300,000, which will include awards at the $20,000, $5,000, and $2,500 levels. Applicants can complete a letter of intent online.
