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
