At this year's Annual Meeting APH is offering 6 APH Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Booster Grants with a value of maximum € 5,000 to APH researchers. The APH DEI Booster Grant 2023 aims to encourage educational or research projects and creative endeavors that promote APH’s and its DEI committee’s goals on promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in our research and academic work environment.

Submit an eligible booster plan, attend the Annual Meeting and you will compete for this valuable grant. At the end of the meeting, 6 winners will be selected during the award ceremony based on random selection.

Scope

Booster plan activities can include organizing or facilitating events, projects and workshops that promote diversity, equity and inclusion in our research and within APH, such as panel discussions or social gatherings with experts, relevant stakeholders and/or other APH researchers. The booster plan can also include activities relating your own research project such as enriching your project with inclusive data or (co-)developing protocols and guidelines for inclusive research.
