For Physicians
Apply by July 16 for grant to promote medication safety
Medical organizations can qualify for one of 25 grants to advance educational programs that promote prescription drug safety.
The AMA Foundation is seeking applications for grants of $8,000 to fund prescription medication safety projects targeting young people who are ages 2 to 21. Medical organizations, including hospitals, free clinics, public health departments, medical schools and nonprofit organizations, are encouraged to collaborate on these projects with schools, government entities and nonprofit organizations.
The AMA Foundation's Healthy Living Grant program has supported 288 programs throughout the country that teach young people about nutrition, physical fitness and violence prevention. Previous grants have funded such activities as youth-led social media campaigns, toolkits and workshops for parents, and age-appropriate e-learning modules. This program is supported by a generous grant from Purdue Pharma LP.
The AMA Foundation is dedicated to improving public health by raising funds and providing philanthropic support to high-impact health and medical scholarship programs.
Applications must be received by July 16. Learn more and download an application today.
