TRAVEL AND PARTICIPATION GRANTS
SPONSORED BY AIM-AHEAD
We are pleased to announce grant opportunities for participation in CHITA. With the generous support of the AIM-AHEAD consortium, CHITA will provide a limited number of grants for participants with diverse backgrounds. We especially encourage underrepresented minorities to join CHITA. Recipients will be reimbursed for travel and hotel expenses, and will receive an additional $500 stipend. Working professionals (clinicians, researchers, administrators), as well as students (undergraduates, masters and doctoral) are all eligible to receive the grant. A certificate of participation will be provided.
To apply, please send an email to chita@umd.edu with the following information:
- Your resume, and LinkedIn page if available.
- One brief paragraph describing your interest in applying AI in healthcare to enhance equity and diversity.
Grants will be awarded on a rolling basis until the funding is depleted. We expect to make approximately 10 awards. We encourage you to apply as early as possible, but no later than February 20, 2022.
