2024 Chair Diversity Investigator Awards
Applications are now open for the 2024 Department of Medicine Chair Diversity Investigator Awards
Background
Dr. Bonnie Maldonado, interim chair for the Department of Medicine, is honored to continue to offer the Chair Diversity Investigator Award. This is the fourth year we offer this program promoting research that addresses health inequity, social determinants of health, cultural competence, outcomes improvement, health system access/utilization for racial, ethnic and sexual and gender minorities, among many other possibilities. Ideas that are innovative and impactful and demonstrate a commitment to diversity, a benefit to individuals from underserved communities or populations, or the elimination of health care disparities are welcome.
Eligibility
The awards are open to Instructors and Assistant Professors (all lines), whose primary appointment is in the Department of Medicine at or above 50% FTE. All applicants must be employed at Stanford for the duration of the award.
Award Details
Four awards will be granted in 2024, where each recipient will receive $50,000 on 9/1/24 to be spent on their research over the next two years. A detailed budget is not required, but the expectation is that funds will be expended in accordance with Stanford's business and financial policies. Also, please note that you should have $200,000 or less in other support to apply for this award.
Review Process
A review committee of senior Faculty will select the four winning proposals. The committee is interested in hearing about your personal journey to diversity/disparity work, including any salient points about you or your background that have influenced your goals and/or preparation for a career in medicine and research.
Applications
Applications are due June 30, 2024, with the award period to start October 1, 2024.
