Opportunity Overview

The New York Health Foundation (NYHealth) is currently accepting rolling applications for its conference scholarship program supporting participation in regional, statewide and national conferences connected to Primary Care, Healthy Food, Healthy Lives, and Veterans’ Health. The program is intended to help New York organizations share their work, build professional networks, learn from peers and bring useful practices back to their communities.

Funding

Scholarships are available for up to $2,000 per person for as many as two attendees from one organization, for a maximum of $4,000 per organization. Eligible costs include conference registration, travel, lodging and attendee incidentals. Indirect costs are not supported.

Who Can Apply

Eligible applicants include New York health departments, government agencies, community-based organizations, nonprofit organizations and other low-resource organizations. Applicants must be employed by or affiliated with an eligible organization located in New York State. For-profit organizations are not eligible. Applicants do not need to be current or former NYHealth grantees.

Conference Eligibility

Eligible conferences may be in person, virtual or hybrid and may be regional, statewide or national, but conferences outside the United States are not eligible. Annual conferences of trade associations in which the organization is a member are excluded. NYHealth is especially interested in conferences where applicants can present or showcase their work.

For virtual-only attendance, applications must be submitted at least four weeks before the conference start date.

Atlas Analysis

Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. The award is modest, but the program is continuously actionable, has straightforward eligibility and can directly help smaller healthcare and community organizations access professional learning, dissemination and field-building opportunities that may otherwise be cost-prohibitive.

N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. The funding is restricted to conference participation expenses rather than clinical technology, equipment or service delivery. Atlas should not manufacture a Dr. Miltie product pathway.

Next Action

Identify a qualifying conference aligned with Primary Care, Healthy Food, Healthy Lives or Veterans’ Health; confirm that the conference is far enough in the future to satisfy the six-week or four-week lead-time rule; assemble the conference agenda, sessions and speaker information; explain the relevance to the organization’s work and why the cost is prohibitive; and submit the NYHealth online application while funds remain available.
