Multi ethnic hands

2024 SCI-JEDI Pilot Seed Grant

The grant supports individuals across the educational continuum, including doctoral students, faculty members, and staff, to facilitate projects that make progress toward inclusive excellence at the Stanford Cancer Institute. 

We welcome projects that address and prioritize any of the following justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI) aims.

  1. A more diverse community. Promote the recruitment, retention, career development, and advancement of individuals from groups historically underrepresented at all levels at the SCI.
  2. A culture of belonging. Enhance the capacity and impact of the SCI JEDI Office through intentional collaboration with the local community, the broader Stanford enterprise, including the SCI Office of Cancer Health Equity (OCHE) and the Office of Cancer Research Training and Education Coordination (CRTEC).
  3. Leadership commitment and accountability. Drive and evaluate progress toward advancing a climate of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion at the SCI.
