Apply by August 17 for New Diversity Grants Inclusion is the reason the AAN was founded. To be an organization that is the home for all neurologists. It is what makes us stronger. To support our goal of being a fully inclusive, deliberately diverse, and anti-racist organization and our core values of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Anti-racism, and Social Justice (IDEAS), we are excited to share progress and updates with you. The AAN is offering two new grants to help fund projects, events, and activities that foster IDEAS within academic neurology departments or the communities they serve. The deadline to apply for either grant is August 17, 2022. Each grant offers two $2,000 prizes, recognition, and the opportunity to virtually present projects to the AAN’s Diversity Officers Subcommittee at the end of the grant period. AAN IDEAS Innovator Grants Designed to support new, untested, and innovative approaches to fostering IDEAS, these grants are geared toward applicants with little or no prior experience in implementing IDEAS-related projects. Students, residents, fellows, and early career faculty are strongly encouraged to apply.
AAN IDEAS Project Grants Designed to support projects, events, and activities that promote IDEAS within academic neurology departments or the communities they serve, these grants are geared to those who have experience and are already working in the IDEAS space within their academic neurology departments.
