This document discusses backing risk in creative industries. It defines innovation as creating new solutions and risk as exposure to danger. It notes that all people take risks in life and entrepreneurs take financial and technological risks by disrupting industries. Governments and investors back risk through policies and funding high-risk ventures. Managing risk involves evaluating potential outcomes based on research, people, structures, and luck. The conclusion is that backing innovators and spreading risk seeks growth and is key to a healthy economy.
The document summarizes customer interactions and learnings from an alumni investment platform called AlumVest. It discusses:

Diversity training grants supported by the NIH are multi-million dollar grants that seek to increase the
numbers of underrepresented minorities in the biomedical sciences. Specifically, these training grants aim
to augment the presence of certain groups— namely minorities (such as African-Americans, American
Indians, Alaska Natives, Hispanic/Latino Americans and U.S. Pacific Islanders) as well as individuals with
disabilities in the biomedical work force.
Leading a team of qualified individuals from various backgrounds and perspectives has proven to be an
effective strategy towards the resolution of complex scientific dilemmas. These grants represent a great
opportunity to make a difference and the NIH recognizes this. In 2011 alone over 39 million dollars were
awarded across 160 approved R25 grant applications. And this is just one of the many diversity-driven
grants currently available.
During this diversity-spirited Webinar, your expert presenter will cover the full range of what these training
grants entail. Special attention will be given to the R25 and T34 grants, but others will be discussed as well.
Walk away with a clear understanding of their mechanism and focus, the basic structure of these grants as
well as their collaborative nature.
