Special Olympics -- Health Student Grants
The Special Olympics is offering Health Student Grants for health professions students. The purpose of this program is to engage health professions students to work with persons with intellectual disabilities as a way of filling in a gap that exists in most health program curricula. The program promotes short-term projects exploring issues that impact the health and well-being of all persons with intellectual disabilities, including, but not limited to, Special Olympics athletes. Projects may include: (1) health promotion projects, (2) data collection and analysis on issues impacting persons with intellectual disabilities, (3) measurement of attitudes, opinions and behaviors of health professionals, coaches, family/caregivers and athletes, or (4) follow-up assessments of existing programs.
Health professions students at the Bachelor, Master, Doctorate and Post-Doctorate levels from accredited institutions or programs in the United States or other countries are eligible to apply. A project may be funded for up to $3,500 per year.
Deadline: Rolling
Please Note: The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) does not administer this funding opportunity.
