Helping Outreach Programs to Expand Grant Program
Through meeting with crime victims and victim advocates, the Office for Victims of Crime learned of the existence of a growing number of nonprofit, community-based victim organizations that are still independent of mainstream victim service programs, and which do not have traditional funding opportunities for services, outreach, and networking. To the end of enabling such organizations to improve their outreach and victim services, the Office for Victims of Crime will award grants of up to $5,000 that may be used for developing brochures, advocate training, creating newsletters, supporting outreach efforts, and volunteer recruitment.

Institute on Medicine as a Profession Initiatives
The Institute on Medicine as a Profession (IMAP) seeks to shape a world inside and outside of medicine that is responsive to the ideals of medical professionalism. IMAP supports research on the past, present, and future roles of medical professionalism in guiding individual and collective behavior. It aims to make professionalism in medicine relevant to physicians, leaders of medical organizations, policy analysts, public officials, and consumers. IMAP currently supports two initiatives designed to support the growth of advocacy in medicine. The Education and Training Initiative supports the growth of advocacy within institutions, while the Merit Award program supports individual physicians. In concert, these two programs will help create a tipping point where advocacy is normalized in the profession, and legitimized within the academy.
