We provide small grants to activists and scholars who would ordinarily not have access to funding. Although the activities that the Program sponsors are flexible, the intention is that recipients will use these funds to pursue research, strategic analysis, writing, and focused projects of activism that will contribute to progressive change in medicine and society. Work sponsored by the Program takes several forms, including scholarly publications, popularly written articles for non-academic readership, uses of the audio-visual media to convey strategic analysis or accounts of practical experiences, and organizing efforts to improve services for the underserved.
