Named to honor Dicey Scroggins, founder of the International Gynecologic Cancer Advocacy Network, this grant will support projects that embrace diversity, seek equitable solutions, and/or strive for inclusion of disparate groups affected by gynecological cancers. We are pleased to launch this funding opportunity at the start of Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month.
Eligible projects may include field work, programming, research and/or opportunities for patient and/or community outreach to improve quality of life and/or access to care or support. The scope of the project may be large (international initiatives), small (community-based), or anywhere in between.
Equity, diversity, and inclusion are three closely linked values held by the IGCS and IGCANetwork. We uphold these values through our programming, collaborations, and communications aimed to include, listen to, and support different groups of individuals, including people of different races, ethnicities, socio-economic positions, religions, abilities, genders, and sexual orientations. While low-resource countries bear the largest cancer burdens, inequities in health and cancer care exist among different population groups within all nations, regardless of a country’s status as low-, middle- or high-income.
