AcademyHealth is pleased to offer three scholarship opportunities for the 16th Annual Conference on the Science of Dissemination and Implementation in Health. The application period for the Community-Based Organization Partner and Patient scholarships is now open. The application period for the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Scholarship is now closed. Notifications will go out mid-late October.
Patient Scholarship
Submission Deadline: Monday, September 25 at 5:00 p.m. ET
Scholarship Notifications: Recipients will be notified by email in early October.
The Patient Scholarship Includes:
- One complimentary registration to the 16th 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.
