This year, National APAMSA still has some available funds for hepatitis B outreach activities. Consequently, we have decided to continue to accept grant applications for the 2012 APAMSA Hepatitis B Education Grant. The grant award is $250 and is to be used to hold talks on hepatitis B. Grant applications will be reviewed at the beginning of every month. All grant awardees must use the funds by June 1, 2012.
Grant amounts may be raised on a case-by-case basis depending on the availability of grant funds.
