The Chinese American Pathologists Association (CAPA) will provide awards to help relieve the burdens and damages associated with Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the U.S. and China. These awards will enable high school and college students to develop and implement various programs that alleviate the medical, public health, financial, psychological and socioeconomic issues related to the COVID-19. We hope to motivate the next generation of Americans to get involved in humanitarian causes. Preferences will be given to the proposals closely aligned with medical fields, specially pathology. We thank the donors for their generous support.

These awards are divided to the two components: Category A). To support the children of the health care providers who died in fighting COVID-19 in China. Category B). To alleviate the aforementioned issues related to COVID-19 in the U.S. The CAPA will provide a total of $2,000-$3,000 for the category-A proposals, and $3,000 to $4,000 for the category-B proposals.

Eligibility: Students in high school or an accredited U.S., U.K. or Canadian college, who must be sponsored by a CAPA member and whose eligibility must be confirmed by the same CAPA member. By submitting the proposal, the applicant agrees to provide the CAPA a summary report at the end of the project, and to acknowledge the CAPA’s support in any product, presentation or publication of the funded project. An applicant can apply to both categories.
