| Description | The Population Health Initiative seeks to create a world where all people can live healthier and more fulfilling lives. In support of that vision, the initiative is pleased to offer population health pilot research grants that are intended to encourage the development of new interdisciplinary collaborations among investigators – and with community-based partners – for projects that address critical challenges to population health.
-
The purpose of this tier of grants is to support researchers in laying the foundation for a future project to generate proof-of-concept. Examples of the types of “entry-level” projects this tier of funding can support include, but are not limited to: - Completing a population-based research project (e.g., data analysis, literature review, evidence synthesis, comparative study) that requires minimal funding and will position the project team to then pursue proof-of-concept.
- Completing a needs assessment (e.g., surveys, in-depth interviews, focus groups) to identify gaps and priorities for a program, community, research project and so forth.
- Laying the groundwork for a large grant application through preparatory work (e.g., convenings to identify partners, development of a research agenda or aims, partnership building) foundational to submission of a competitive grant application to internal or external funders.
- Exploring new research directions for an existing project or project team preparing to pursue proof-of-concept.
- Testing of a hypothesis by disciplines that do not traditionally see themselves as falling within the “health” space.
- Capacity-building with a community partner to prepare for a grant application or launch of a proof-of-concept project.
Awards of up to $25,000 per project will be available with a project period of up to eight months. Applications will be accepted three times per year in February, April and October through 2023.Application Deadlines, due at 11:59pm: - October 1, 2022
