NIH Recovery Act Limited Competition: NCMHD Community Participation in Health Disparities Intervention Research Planning Phase (R24) RFA-MD-09-006
Internal Competition Completed
Principal Investigators Selected:
- Robin Mermelstein, Director & Professor, Institute for Health Research & Policy
Program Summary
This limited competition NIH Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), supported by funds provided to the NIH under the Recovery Act, solicits applications to support intervention research on health disparities that is jointly conducted by communities and researchers.
The goal of this FOA is to support community-based participatory research (CBPR) in planning, implementing, evaluating and disseminating effective interventions for a disease or condition to reduce and eventually eliminate health disparities through partnerships between racial/ethnic minority populations, subpopulations, and other heath disparity populations and research investigators.
NCMHD is interested in supporting intervention research studies using community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles to reduce and eventually eliminate health disparities in any disease or condition of major concern to the community (e.g. cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, infant mortality, immunization) with emphasis on racial and ethnic minorities.
This FOA invites applications for a two-year planning grant proposal. The first six months of the first year of the grant are devoted to partnership development, community needs assessment, identifying the disease/condition for intervention research, and planning the intervention methodology with substantial input from the community. During the remaining 18 months of the grant award, a pilot intervention research study will be conducted with community participation.
An applicant may request a project period of up to two years and a budget for direct costs up to $375,000 per year.
Current NCMHD CBPR Initiative grantees and former recipients of a NCMHD CBPR Initiative planning grant in response to RFA-MD-05-002 are not eligible to apply. According to NIH and UIC databases, UIC is not a NCMHD CBPR grantee or former recipient. If this is incorrect, please contact rds@uic.edu.
UIC is restricted to one application.
