As part of NOAH’s commitment to advance diversity and inclusion in the field of arts in health, we aim to amplify traditionally underrepresented voices. Applicants are encouraged to share if they identify with one or more historically marginalized groups (examples include but are not limited to Immigrant, Indigenous, International, LGBTQIA, Person of Color, Person with Disability, Person of Size, Socioeconomic Disadvantage).
This is not a requirement for submitting a proposal, but NOAH encourages applicants who come from one or more of these historically marginalized populations.
