The Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences is now accepting applications for the EDID Initiatives Fund. The purpose of the EDID Initiatives Fund is to advance EDID initiatives led by scholarly associations members of the Federation throughout the year and beyond Congress.

Each association must clearly address how their proposed initiative addresses one or more of the following: accessibility, decolonization, disability justice, anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion; and display how the initiative will advance their association’s work in EDID. Each proposed initiative is expected to achieve at least one of the following points:

• Create equitable and inclusive access and participation during the association’s activities for their members;
• Advance decolonization and reconciliation with Indigenous communities, and collaborate to increase equitable opportunities for BIPOC students, scholars, and communities;
• Address critical conversations about anti-racism, including an intersectional lens that makes visible the impact of multiple forms of systemic discrimination.

Applications for the Fall Cycle are due by September 14, 2024.
