ITAC was pleased to announce that up to six (6) LEND and / or DBP projects were be eligible for a maximum of $8,000 each to support the development and implementation of activities between September 16, 2019 and June 15, 2020 that address one of these four LEND/DBP network priority areas of need:
(1) Engaging and Leveraging Alumni Networks
(2) Capturing and Sharing Program Impact
(3) Creating Meaningful Clinical and Leadership Experiences for Distance Trainees
(4) Building More Robust Policy and Systems Education Curricula
Applications for 2019-2020 are closed. Contact Luis Valdez ([email protected]) for more information.
The hope is that these projects not only lead to measurable improvements for participating programs, but that their efforts can serve as innovative and resourceful models for other programs to address similar areas of need. See below for a list of current and past projects, and click the cohort year to view additional information, such as products developed and primary contacts.
Since November 2014, ITAC has encouraged project proposals on an annual basis from LEND and DBP programs that wish to receive targeted assistance and funding support to address one of several priority areas of network need.
ITAC carefully reviews each proposal and selects as many programs as possible to participate in each year's cohort. While projects are underway, ITAC facilitates individual and peer-to-peer technical assistance, monitors progress toward planned objectives, responds to grantee inquiries, and creates opportunities to share results across the network.
