RBHS-IDEA: Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Advocacy Innovation Grants
The mission of the RBHS-IDEA innovation grants is to support action-oriented projects that promote an inclusive, diverse, and cohesive culture at RBHS and that show meaningful and measurable results. As we invest in broader institutional efforts to advance an inclusive culture at RBHS, the IDEA grants offer a way for innovative grassroots efforts to join in our larger strategy. We invite projects that encourage conversations and connections across our differences to create opportunities for belonging and to strengthen a sense of community.
The goals of the RBHS-IDEA innovation grant program are:
- To fund research and scholarly activities that seek innovative approaches to diversity, equity, advocacy, and inclusion
- To promote the development of initiatives and programs that foster an inclusive and welcoming environment for the success of the larger RBHS community.
