Funding Opportunity for Drosophila Outreach Efforts

The Drosophila Board invites applications for funding to support efforts to increase trainee participation, equity and diversity in the Drosophila research community. Non-profit programs anywhere in the world that introduce middle school, high school or college students to Drosophila research are eligible to apply.

Past awards have been used to fund:

  • Outreach events to educate high school/college students in under-represented communities about Drosophila research
  • Summer research opportunities to introduce high school/college students to the fly model system
  • Making educational material accessible to under-represented groups online

If you are interested, see the wiki entry here or contact Jessica Treisman at the address shown in the flyer at right. The deadline for applications is April 30th, 2025.
