Break The Silence Announcement

The Lebanese Medical Association for Sexual Health LebMASH calls on students in any medical field who are interested in sexual health and LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) health to apply for the annual "Break the Sielnce" grant.

Every year, LebMASH offers students an opportunity to win full sponsorship to attend an international medical conference.

To win this grant, students compete by submitting a review-of-literature or research paper about sexual health or health of sexual minorities in Lebanon.

The winner is awarded 1500 USD to cover their transportation and accomodation. LebMASH partners with GLMA's annual conference to waive the conference registration fee for the winner.

Students are expected to bring back to their schools and peers what they learned abroad. They are encouraged to present their experience and to also publish it online. LebMASH board members will mentor the winner, as well as interested non-winning participants, to publish qualified papers in peer-reviewed medical journals.

What should I do?

1) Write an academic quality paper on any issue related to either women's sexual health or LGBT health in Lebanon.
2) Submit your CV and contact information to [email protected]

When should I do it?

The deadline for submission is May 31st 2017 by midnight Beirut time.

What is the prize?

The BTS committee of LebMASH executive board members will select one winner who will be granted a trip (up to 1500 USD) to USA to attend the GLMA conference that will take place from the 13th to the 16th of September 2017 in Philadelphia,PA.
