AcademyHealth is pleased to offer three scholarship opportunities for the 17th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health. The application period for scholarships is now closed.

Scholarships will also be awarded to accepted paper presenters from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). These scholarships do not have an application for submission; recipients will be selected from eligible accepted presenters, and notifications will be sent in mid-September.

Patient Scholarship

Submission Deadline: Friday, September 27, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. ET
Scholarship Notifications: Recipients will be notified by email in early October.

Applications for the Patient Scholarship are now closed.

The Patient Scholarship Includes:

  • One complimentary registration to attend the 17th Annual Science of D&I Conference.
  • Reimbursement for eligible travel-related expenses up to $1,500. Receipts must be provided.

Do You Qualify for a Patient Scholarship?

Applicants for the scholarship must be attending the Science of D&I Conference primarily to represent patients/consumers and add a patient voice to the discussion. Preference will be given to active and engaged patients who would otherwise be unable to participate in the absence of registration support. Individuals employed as full-time consultants, or in any paid capacity for health technology (including startups), pharmaceutical or device manufacturers, health care delivery systems, and state or federal government agencies are unlikely to qualify.

Applicants will be evaluated based on a number of criteria including:

  • Statement of interest (required with application).
  • Prior experience in patient advocacy or engagement.
  • Participation in the Science of D&I Conference in previous years (we aim to have a mix of new and returning participants).
  • Potential for applicant to elevate underrepresented or minority communities.
  • Potential for applicant to diversify geographic representation at the conference.
