Microgrant Program

SIR has created a microgrant program to support the research of a PI who is a woman or underrepresented minority; or for research that increases awareness of the diversity and inclusiveness within the specialty.

• The purpose of this initiative is to encourage women and underrepresented minorities to engage in scholarly research related to IR.
• The secondary goal is to encourage research into topics that explore issues that affect/enhance diversity in IR.

Grant applications are reviewed quarterly by the Diversity and Inclusion Committee and Women in IR Section.

Institutions are eligible to apply for grant support for program events that address early outreach and awareness aimed at racially and ethnically diverse students who are in medical school. 

To be considered, submit the grant application and any additional supporting documentation.

Grant applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis.
